> When I wrote about this for Spiked nearly a year ago, it was the only time an article of mine has been marked with a 'fake news' warning on Facebook. Admittedly the headline was 'Smoke fags, save lives', but with hindsight it stands up better than a lot of what the World Health Organisation was saying at the time.
While this is quite funny, it's sad that WHO is prone to making inaccurate and unverified claims in a time when people are looking to them for an authoritative answer.
