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.

Danish national final singer Kim Larsen has launched a campaign called “Gesundheit macht frei”. It is being criticized for the inspiration from the old Nazi slogan “Arbeit macht frei”, a deliberate choice as they believe that strong smoking laws take away people's personal freedom.

Since the early 70’s Kim Larsen has been among the most popular names in Denmark with almost all of his albums being best sellers. However, he only came third in the Danish final in 1979. In October he will release a new album full of Danish children songs.
