Of course I have and I know they can be manipulated to tell you just
about anything. Some of my favorites were put out by the tobacco
companies, 9 out of 10 doctors recommend Kools.
As a collector of old time radio shows, I love listening to the
misinformation from the cigarette ads:
Chesterfields: Clinically proven to leave no damaging throat irritation!
Camels: More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette.
Lucky Strike: Her singing coach advised a light smoke.
Lucky Strike: Toasting the tobacco removes dangerous irritants that cause
throat irritation and coughing.
Tipalet: Blow in her face and she'll follow you anywhere.
Viceroy: As your dentist, I would recommend Viceroys
Mecca: Where was Moses when the lights went out? Groping for a pack of
Meccas!
And there are still people who believe that the link between smoking and
lung diseases is unproven, and just a bunch of political hogwash.
so smarty pants, which of your quotes is an example of someone misusing
statistics?
they all sound like shady testimonials and claims to me. not a single one of
them is a misapplied statistic.
then again, this is probably beyond your ability to comprehend.
