DATE RAPE CIGARETTE

In an apparent first for the UK, a woman – who had not been drinking, by the way – was reportedly raped after being drugged by an offered cigarette:
A woman has been raped after smoking a spiked cigarette (or "fry") in what is thought to be the first case of its kind in Britain. Experts at a rape referral centre in Kent said the woman, who as a victim of sexual assault cannot be named, described symptoms consistent with having smoked a cigarette dipped in formaldehyde.
Maybe the woman was raped in the circumstances claimed but the story has a few holes in it. There is no mention of any drugs found in her system. There is no mention of the butt having been tested for drugs. There's also this about formaldehyde dipped cigarettes to consider:
The cigarettes taste like rubbing alcohol and smell like gasoline when they burn.
If the woman is a regular smoker of these, she would have been comfortable with the rubbing alcohol taste and gasoline smell.
