Science / Medicine : ‘Toothache-Killer’ Cigarettes
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A single puff from a special cigarette developed by a Beijing research institute can stop a toothache in 10 seconds, the official China Daily reported.
The newspaper quoted Sun Guofu, president of the Beijing Design and Research Institute of Physical and Chemical Engineering, as listing the cigarette among 32 projects tested and awaiting full production and marketing.
Sun said that in addition to the immediate relief from the first puff, use of the so-called “toothache killer cigarette” could keep dental pain at bay for a year.
