The thing is when there is a cut in the number of people smoking there will be a cut in the amount of tax the government get.
Then the ogvernment will blame the smokers and put everyone elses tax up.

better health for all but more tax and less money to enjoy it with

If we are talking about freedom here, well much of my NHS time is spent with druggies (SCUM) WHO STEAL, LIE, CHEAT, ROB AND GET FREE METH ADONE ETC.
Alcoholics are given money for booze from DHS would you believe.........cos its an addiction.

Smoking is small beer compared to the antisocial behavior of druggies.
one i know had infection from injecting that eroded his hip joint, still he robbed a small supermarket ON CRUTCHES.......getaway was a bit slow.
The police were watching him from their car, but couldn't get out of the car to chase him cos they were laughing so hard.

Another druggie does self harm..took his ear off and ate it, next he is going to take out his eyes..........under prison guard and cuffed but still a nutter and the cost to the tax payer is about Â£10,000 on each admission to hospital.................YOU THE TAX PAYER FUNDS THE DRUGGIES, but at least the smokers pay for themselves and die young.........cheap don't you think.

SMOKING

A topic which will be argued about the rights and wrongs of what should be or not be allowed will no doubt continue for many many years to come

Its obvious that people who smoke will more than likely wish to continue and I personally don't have any problem with that as long as it doesn't effect anyone else

BUT imo have any of you smokers ever thought about what a selfish attitude that is

IE (probably won't gain many friends here) how many of you (if you're honest) have children and you smoke indoors

we now know that passive smoking is as bad if not worse than actually smoking yourself

I had a short stay in hospital sometime ago and I was shocked at how many people were in there with smoking related illnesses

some of them were crawling the walls in agony screeching with pain through the night

it was a real eye opener for me

It would be interested to hear from any of you that work in hospital's what percentage of sick people are actually sick from a smoking related illness

I know you're not having a go, but i only smoke in the sun room at the back of the house, doors shut. I too only smoke at the bar when in a restaurant and am sympathetic to non smokers.
And i do intend to give it another shot at packing up ! I know someone who has managed to give up using a prescribed drug ( Zygol ? )

Well at least your're honest about it (Stu and Kaz) and pretty responsible for your actions by the sound of it

I expected a better response to my post, especially when this thread has been view over 40 times since I posted it
