Spare a thought for the poor shop assistants who have to lump the shutters up and back down again every time a customer wants cigarettes.

I know what the girls at my local supermarket think but I can’t put it on here as it would be censored!!

Give a man an inch.........and he thinks he’s a ruler.

smoking

there are approximateley 28 million cars in the uk,godknows how many trucks,motor bikes and deisel trains, not to mention coaches and buses. all pumping out carbon monoxide far in excess of the amount being generated by us smokers, are we going to impose the sme draconian measures against these as the seem hell bent on findingnew rules against smokers evert week or so? of course there not! think of the loss of revenue to the gov [they get there revenue plus from smokers by continually increasing the taxper packet] in my humble and biased [some might say] this is outright discrimination against those who smoke,IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO SMOKE its only illegally to smoke where the polliessay so,Iwouldnt mind betting that the revenue derived from tobbaco would more than pay for a few warships and some new aircraft. in the eyes of the pollies its better to die from an enemies bullet, than the possibility of cancer

Raymond...in case you missed it...Smoking is the single largest preventable cause of death and disease in Australia killing 50 Australians daily, 350 each week, and around 19,000 every year.

Smoking causes 20% of all cancers, 21% of all heart disease and costs $12.7 billion a year in health care, lost productivity and other costs. So you’re right, if you didn’t smoke, every Australian could indeed have his own personal aircraft!
