I liked "The hemoglobin increases may be further enhanced with add-on therapy of ethanol" - i.e. a nice pint with your cigarette.
Technically
Smoking does increase your haemoglobin (CO binds to it better, blocking O2, causing body to produce more) - just doesn't increase your ability to carry more O2 (and gloopy blood is not good for you).
Also, probably does increase lung capacity, by destroying pesky surfaces used to transfer O2 from teh air to your blood.
I can only think somebody got bored at work and decided to chuck this out there for a giggle/reference-bait.
