This has to be a joke, especially when it said for children that can't hold cigarettes they should use a cigarette holder.

"With this in mind, smoking should be commenced at as young an age as is reasonably possible. Children who have not yet developed a pincer grasp might require modified cigarette holders, safety lighters or both."

Love it.
