    Actually thin… you could say the same about obesity… our hospitals are full of people with obesity related illnesses,,, you could say their illnesses are self inflicted so why should the tax payer pick up the bill? Maybe we should tax people for eating fatty foods or ban fatty foods?

    The thing is where does it end? Is a person who participates in a risky sports activity entitled to have treatment on the NHS if the injure themselves playing their sport? Should they pay extra tax because they participate or should we ban the sport?

    Maybe we should all just take out private health insurance and be done with it :?

    Thin, there also one of the highest tax payers. If smoking was made illegal or fully banned where do you think the government would get the missing money from??
    Also where would they invest taxpayers money as currently its mainly invested in tabacco companys – where do you think they get penison money from (maybe thats just Ireland, but you’d wanna check its not England before you try and stop it fully)

    simples all those unhealthy people who cant work would be healthy and in work not only would it reduce the benifits the tax payer funds
    they would also become tax payers
    not to mention the savings in the nhs
    and all the cleaning up after smokers
    its win win win and no smelly fag breaths either :P

    What are you shyting on about now, i smoke and work – so do lots.

    yea but your young

    wait till your 50 plus
    your lungs will look like welsh fems mush
    all brown and crinkled
    like an old walnut
    then even taking a dump will use up too much breath
    you will cough and weese at the slightest thing
    your so going to wish you listened to robbie then lucy :shock:

    yea i think the health insurance is a decent idea
    lets face it private companies will offer a better service and our ni contributions can be reduced

    lets privatise the fire service too while we are at it

    that will stop those ponsed up nobs riding around with their arms out the window of the fire engine

    Not sure yet Eve…havn’t made my mind up if he likes or dislikes smokers/smoking :lol:

    I think smoking should be banned whilst driving…not only because of selfish parents who smoke whilst kids are in the back but because it’s a distraction, just like eating (the lady who was fined for eating her apple) and texting….you need to reach for the lighter after you’ve take the ciggie out of the packet..light it up then have it between your fingers whilst driving….lessening the grip to the steering wheel etc…so yes the reasons for banning are there…………HOWEVER…..
    Where does it stop?….I feel its wrong for us to be told what we can and can’t do….reaching for the chewing gum taking it out of the pack and shoving in your gob (one of my habits when I’m driving)…surely that is dangerous too…having earphones in and listening through your phone or ipod…that is dangerous…should we be told thats wrong too?

    There are definitly pros and cons………..Dunno :roll:

    and lets not forget
    as this has become an anti government debate
    no polition has suggested any of this

    IT WAS THE MEDICAL PROFESSION

    ps have you ever noticed how lined and horrible a womans top lip looks after years of smoking
    when they get over 40 their top lips look like a crator on the moon
    and dont forget
    grubby looking teeth
    yelow fingers
    smelling horrid
    poor health
    and a waste of money

    LADIES HAVE SOME SELF RESPECT IS THIS HOW YOU WANT TO BE
