The boys at The Daily Mash have the gory details

SMOKERS will have to hold a large piece of card over their face so they cannot look at the cigarette they are smoking, ministers said last night.

The ‘smoking mask’ will include a small mouth hole and a handle, though later models may be fitted with elasticated straps…

The mask will also carry a warning which reads: “Lighting a Cigarette While Wearing This Mask May Cause You to Set Fire to the Mask Instead of the Cigarette and Burn Your Face Off.”
