If I handed a bag round asking for a £1 to save a life of someone who had cancer for eg, you'd probably put one in. It wouldn't really cost you much (unless you were very poor of course). So how about actually allowing an element of cost into your life with respect to smoking and save a life?

In reference to children and passive smoking mentioned before, did you realise that 17000 children under the age of 5 are to hospital every year because of the effects of passive smoking?

Nicely dodgedSmokers, stop being so selfish and think of the health of the nation and not your "right" to smoke in a public enclosed space!
Nicely dodged, smokers....
