Deluded fuckwit of the century

I know it's only 2009 and we have 90+ years to go before we call time on the 21st century, but can anyone truly envisage anything more delusional being spouted in the next nine decades than this?

The CIEH has refuted claims by a new campaign that smoke-free laws have caused pub closures across the country.

But CIEH policy officer Ian Gray said there was insufficient evidence to back these claims. He said: ‘In advance of the introduction of smoke-free laws around the world the tobacco industry and its surrogates has generated a myth that smoke-free laws result in closures and a reduction in trade. There is no independent evidence of this actually happening anywhere in the world.'

Dictated from his padded cell.
