'Smoking kills more people than Obama' poster appears in Moscow

The Guardian

"Russia’s only Liberal MP says poster, which has no attribution, is ‘disgusting and embarrassing’ "

. . . "Dmitry Gudkov, the sole liberal opposition MP in Russia’s parliament, on Tuesdayposted a photograph of the large poster, which was in a metal-and-glass frame at a bus shelter on Moscow’s third ring road.

"Gudkov wrote that it was “disgusting and embarrassing that this is appearing on the streets of the Russian capital.” His Facebook post had received more than 1,300 likes, hundreds of positive and negative comments and extensive Russian media coverage.“Smoking kills more people than Obama, although he kills lots and lots of people,” the poster read, showing an illustration of the president smoking the last dregs of a cigarette. “Don’t smoke, don’t be like Obama.' ” . . .

“Soon they’ll be scaring kids with Obama rather than Baba Yaga,” the witch from Russian folk tales, Gudkov later told the Guardian.

The advert has no attribution, no author has come forward to claim it and Moscow city hall has not commented."
