    It’s sort of like telling someone who smokes, that it’s bad for them, they know, you don’t need to remind them.

    If a famous celebrity tells people that smoking is good for them, should that go unchallenged?

      that’s factually incorrect and misinformation, so yes, it should be challenged.

      I’m not saying that the word retard is a good thing for society though.
