That’d be akin to allowing little catholic school kids to “stone” an abortion clinic.
Something tells me that idea wouldn’t fly in the U.S.
Its a great concept to spread the anti-smoking message with obvious concern about stoning.

How many of them are going to stone people to death, really…one, two or three? Well, its still better…this joke is for you.
