Don't get me wrong - smoking BAD! I say tax them to death - make a pack of 20 £30... that'll learn em! The savings on the NHS would be fantastical! The NHS earn enough from charging patients and their families a fortune to use their carparks! The NHS district hospital in York took £500,000 from parking alone last year; disgraceful! I agree in one respect, but smoking costs a fuck of a lot more - if people stopped the savings would be greater, including parking. The hospital staff have to pay too - which I think is just plain unfair! |

Some patients have to be at the hospital really regularly for long periods of time, they're penalised for being ill! |

In all fairness it is a good enough reason to Jack it in £6 a pack Mr Brown can Fuck right off, which is exactly what the government wants people to do, bar the clever ones who get dodgy fags from abroad which I do not like as the contain Sarin gas or Zyklon B |

You're right - if it's a long term thing I think there should be dispensation.... you sound like you have first hand knowledge...? Anywho, top and bottom of it is that smoking is bad and costing the "taxpayer" a lot of doddy ash. It would be a good thing if people could give up. |

Not really, although my Gran was in hospital for about 6 weeks before she died. I do agree that it's a filthy habit, which i'm trying to kick, while it does cost the taxpayer a helluva lot, it's our right to smoke (yes it's also our right to breathe and exhale on you too ) So much crap costs the taxpayers billions every year but they still go ahead. Like the Olympics, while it could be potentially great for our ecomony and tourist industry, they're risking £9.35bn of OUR money; not to mention that it could cost the East of England's economy something like £540m. |
