Closed To rename cigarrettes cancerettes

Closed on

Cancer Research UK inform's us all that tobacco use continues to result in 100,000 deaths each year in the UK.
They also inform us that 157,000 11-15 year olds become smokers each year in the UK...

To further help reduce the above statistics - save lives and be an example to the rest of the world, please petition the Government to bring in a law renaming cigarettes cancerettes.
Thank you for listening - and petitioning.
The Rt Revd Charles Mugleston
