England's department of health has launched a new, very graphic anti-smoking TV ad (see the [BBC STORY][1]). Aside from the graphic imagery it makes the specific claim that a smoker will suffer one mutation fo every 15 cigarettes smoked.

Is this claim credible? And, perhaps more importantly, is it *significant* given the background level of mutagenic chemicals and radiation we are exposed to?
