Okay, but the major hazard identified here seems to be the opium, arsenic and other additives, and the tone of the info seems to be similar to various snake oil merchants of the time. I don't believe it was common knowledge in those days that cigarettes were as harmful as we now know.
There are many people nowadays claiming various things in all directions about global warming, gun ownership, national debt, and numerous other things that will require time to sort out the facts from the nonsense. We don't seem to have consensus on these issues that should be a fairly straightforward analysis.

Obviously not, knowledge was not as easily shared or read as it is now.
However, Twain spent a fair amount of time attacking those who said smoking was a bad habit, writing essays about it.
Anti-smoking groups grew in Europe from the start of the last century (1904 the first properly organized group) with the link between smoking and lung cancer identified, it took hold so well in Germany that when the Nazis came to power Hitler was able to launch his no smoking campaigns.
In 1604 James I of England wrote a treatise expressing his dislike of smoking tobacco, one of the reasons was the danger to the lungs and referenced a number of medical theories of the time.

Great idea. It'll really work.
I mean, you want to make sure that you avoid things that make you think about smoking...
... e.g. ruddy great anti-smoking head-cages.

Which is the best free tool to create concept videos like this?[^]

Thanks Joan! I think PowerPoint is close enough for the purpose. I've done few videos using Power Point this before. It took some effort but did its job neatly at the end.

It looks like PowerPoint. If it was MS who put it together I don't see them wanting to use anything else except their own products.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Thanks for links Bassam, The tools look great.
But my current requirement is to simulate Metro-UI type of GUIs for an application.
Like a Proto tool that lets us animate the screens similar to Windows 8 & Windows Phone Apps UIs.
And it should be presented as a video. (please check the video link in my original post).

After many years of missing out I have started frequenting a local Jazz club http://www.sultanjazzclub.com/[^] where they quite a few local talent as well as some international musicians. I notice the singers have a fantastic ability to sing gibberish, it sound fantastic but do they learn how to sing it, are they taught and is it part of the formal training for singers.
I believe opera singers also do it but call it some foreign language (usually Italian I think).

That "gibberish", as you call it, is mostly scatalogical.

Singing Gibberish is an innate talent; you have the biological endowment that, in interaction with the environment and your developmental experiences, expresses the genes for it, and enables its development; or, you don't.
But, since you have clearly demonstrated on CodeProject that you write Gibberish fluently, surely you can take comfort from that, and just hum along, even if off-key ?
Genetic scientists tell us we all have transposons (jumping genes) [^]: but, not all of us can be pole-vaulters.

I'm using HG at home to track my pet project's progress....
Today I deleted a folder and added more or less the same with NuGet
Then I try to commit.
I'm removing untracked file it can't delete for the last 15 minutes and it's not over yet
(common, who care you don't follow them I just want them gone, forget about them! don't tell me you can't forget because you didn't know...)
In other news VS2013 comes equipped with GIT out the box, maybe I should give it a try, seeing how I am upset with HG..
