Danish national final runner up Kim Larsen continues his protests against the smoking ban. Together with other prominent singers such as Thomas Helmig, Johnny Madsen and Klaus Kjellerup, he has now recorded a protest song.

Despite the criticism, he continues and has now formed the band “Den Gule Negl” (The Yellow Nail). They have been in the studio and their song “Hold Dig På Måtten” (Best translated as “Keep the Straight Line”) can now be found on their Youtube channel.

The band consists of well-known Danish singers such as Thomas Helmig, Johnny Madsen, Klaus Kjellerup and Kim Larsen. As such they are getting a lot of attention and more than 50,000 people have already seen the video on Youtube in just a couple of days.

Excellent. Thanks for sharing this informative articles. Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, emphysema, and heart disease; that it can shorten your life by 10 years or more; and that the habit can cost a smoker thousands of dollars a year. So how come people are still lighting up? The answer, in a word, is addiction. Another articles i found about bad effect of smoking at pdfpal.net.
