From eating ciggerettes?

Seems like a bit of BS to me, but I can't be bothered disproving it, so I guess I will just shut up now

Cook tomato sauce for three hours? Scottish people are the basically the same as Faroese? Scottish people eat smoked food at every meal? And what food is smoked with peat? Canned or bottled vegetables have no nutrients?
