Australia: enough to start kids smoking At the 3rd Australian Tobacco Control Conference in Sydney in November, delegates were entertained by a short set from tobacco control supergroup Puff Daddy and the Rockin' Rollies. Guitarist Stafford Sanders (ASH), drummer Paul Grogan (Cancer Council Australia), keyboarder Trish Kirby (long suffering wife of Tobacco Control editor Simon Chapman) joined Simon and two musician friends for five tobacco themed songs, including Tex Williams' Smoke! Smoke! Smoke that cigarette. Williams (1917–1985) died of lung cancer aged just 68. Tobacco Control has been unable to confirm reports that the managements of U2, the Rolling Stones, and Bruce Springsteen issued a joint statement, interpreted by experienced music industry watchers as indicating the groups' deep concern: “These people say they are worried about smoking being bad for health, but they obviously care nothing about harming people's ears.”
