Shot into a low orbit of 100 miles, the FOBS rocket slows and ejects its nuclear bomb before completing its route around the globe. This combination would prevent anti-ballistic missile radar (BMEWS), presently the U.S.'s main screen against surprise attack, from ascertaining the point of impact until the rocket "deboosts"-about three minutes and 500 miles from target.

Nonetheless, half of all British adults remain on cigarettes, and the past two years have seen a steady increase in consumption among young people.
