i think if people wish to smoke they should be allowed to do so and not be penalized or treat differently to any one else -and death sticks really? what about death drinks -death foods etc etc etc ,we all have vices that help us get through the day .

What about the alcohol drinkers who use up vital NHS services like Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics and most of all the Police time?

Alcohol abuse costs much more to treat than smoking related illnesses.

May be we can charge those found to be smoking a bit of puff or those injecting drugs, quick blood test to confirm and out comes the charges sheet depending on the level of usage and of course where does it stop with additional charges once they are the norm. :rolleyes:

Indeed where would it stop, we could charge those drinking depending on the amount they have drunk in the last day, People with skin problems extra if they have been on holiday in sunny climates within the last year :rolleyes:

if the law changed and I needed health insurance to keep up the sport I would be more than happy. Anyway the NHS do not treat sports injuries very well anyway as a qualified sports therapist I can treat most injuries myself anyway .

When I smoked dope I smoked it neat I had very little perhaps 20 blasts a day maybe the equal to 1 cigarette and that's on a heavy day. Again if the law changed and I had to be responsible for things that are unhealthy I would have to bite the bullet

I would also like to see changes in the law so the diet in this country could be better also. Our supermarket shelves are full of poison and sugar there were far less obese people in the 50's when they ate animal fat
