"Healthy Smoking"

[Mojo]

I've noticed today that this egregious scam (http://www.adrianaco.com/) seems to be open for business again. I first noticed it when there was an ASA adjudication (http://www.asa.org.uk/asa/adjudications/non_broadcast/Adjudication+Details.htm?adjudication_id=40904) against them, and they were ordered to withdraw their leaflet advertising. At that point their website was "under construction", although Google's cache had the version of the site that's back up, so I assumed that they'd taken down the site as a result of the ASA ruling. Of course, the ASA doesn't regulate claims made on websites: that's down to the trading standards people.

That is clearly making claims that it can't back up!

Gluing a microchip to the front of a card is hardly going to do much. Where's the power supply?

It's laughable, but some people will be taken in by it. :(

They're not the only ones selling it. These guys (http://newbertrevolution.com/index.php?module=Website&action=Home&content=home) do as well, although they claim it's magnetic. They have some other dubious looking products as well.

Mojo, you're a master of understatement. ;D

Look at their Anti Ageing Soap (http://newbertrevolution.com/index.php?module=Website&action=Text&content=1133910399150-7474)


This unique beauty aid has the ability to radiate 'Far-Infrared Rays'

I think that's probably true because there's a diagram.


The bar on the left is normal soap and on the right is Anti Ageing Beauty Soap. As you can see, the Anti Ageing Beauty Soap radiates Far-Infrared Ray by itself.

Can't argue with that!

The information on the "Textiles and Towelling (http://newbertrevolution.com/index.php?module=Website&action=MultProfiles&content=1134584259230-0769)" page seems to be more or less accurate though. At least for the moment...
