the lancet medical journal has urged the government to ban smoking in the uk totally it published its findings which have suggested passive smoking kills and the fact that its costing the NHS £1.5bn pounds to treat smoking related illnesses

the report does go on to mention smoking is a £9.3bn revenue generator although in my view a complete ban to add it to the illegal substances list as suggested would be something i would completely back as it kills many people in the uk who dont even smoke but the loss of revenue may make the government think twice about a ban
