The Drum: Isis hijacks NHS ad to discourage people from smoking
Jihadist extremist militant group Isis has “borrowed” NHS anti-smoking adverts in a bid to convince people living under its role to stop smoking.
The terror group, which is currently encamped across Syria and Iraq, has forbidden smoking under a strict interpretation of traditional Islamic law, reports The Independent. An image Isis posted on social media showed the anti-smoking message that would appear to have taken heavy inspiration from a Public Health campaign in 2013.
Can we start dropping Winfield Reds on ISIS?
In the immortal words of John Bender “Smoke up Johnny!”
Why are we giving ISIS any media coverage beyond what we already are in the news pages?
^ 10 pts to the fellow neo maxi zoom dweebie for the Bender quote. refreshing.

ISIS has a history of ripping off images, at times completely warping said images’ from their original intention: http://petapixel.com/2015/10/2.....our-photo/
Do you really think this is in any way newsworthy? Why jump on the bandwagon and give them even more attention than they’re already getting? #idontgetit
There’s something vaguely disturbing about learning ISIS is running a social marketing campaign, just like a real government.
Pretty Sure dying of Smoking would be the least of my worries were I a member of such a group….
