The Radium Girls and the Generation that brushed its Teeth with Radioactive Toothpaste

quote [ The Radium Girls were so contaminated that if you stood over their graves today with a Geiger counter, the radiation levels would still cause the needles to jump more than 80 years later. ]

My grandmother used to smoke cigarettes with asbestos filters. This is kinda like that, but more glowing in the dark.

Remember the days when Doctors would recommend a cigarette brand? Pepperidge Farm does.

I thought it was on new SE, but search says no. The article is from 2015.
