Re: Healthy England ; no smoking


I'm sure we can all move forward now in the run up to the London
Olympics, in just 60 months time, with a renewed sense of priorities,
as we engage in healthier lifestyles. The whole of the UK is becoming
a much healthier society than in previous years.


Yeah - well this is how it works.

All the smokers that quit or cut down due to the ban substitute their
habbit by eating and hence put on weight.

Obesity costs the NHS just as much if not more only there's not tax on
obesity like there is on fags so you will have to cough up (so to
speak) more.

As for your health well all the smokers will just stop going down the
pub leaving them free to drive much more often belching out fumes for
you to breath in - some trade that is.

All this so you can enjoy a pint in a smoke free environment, trouble
is, if you're surrounded by repressed smokers all on the edge there's
a much greater chance you'll end up going out for the night only to
get your head filled in.
