Ahh, you gotta go to the Ontario College of Art and Design for that.
I've heard that one before, along with "Cigarettes aren't dangerous,
it's the plastic filters in them that cause the cancer, tobacco smoke is
natural and safe." The same teacher (a smoker BTW) also tried to tell my
class that %95 of women were *already* infertile because of estrogens
from plastics and because of that civilization would end within a few
decades. Strangely, his examples of this were all wrong, he somehow
managed to cite the few plastics that don't have estrogen mimicing
compounds in them, names high and low density polyethelyne, rather than
the numorous examples to the contrary.

Who's benifitting from those BTW? Fear. He's one of the more popular
teachers in the school, because he panders to students who hate
industry, and who smoke for that matter...
