My smoking has never cost the NHS a penny
How can you be sure? There may well be people that have been affected by passive smoking.
At a bar on Saturday night it wasn't my smoking that made walking into the gents like walking into a paddling pool, nor was it the reason the toilet and walls to be covered in puke
No but it did make non smokers go home with clothes and hair that smelled like stinking ashtrays and God knows what effect passive smoking has had on non smokers. Roy Castle springs to mind.
Binge drinking and obesity are accepted by society as "the norm", everyday life, smoking has made me a pariah subjected to abuse with people thinking it is acceptable to ridicule me as a smoker saying I do it to "look glamorous"
Does society accept binge drinking and obesity to be the norm? I think not

also your smoking has cost the nhs ... if you have ever had a chest infection that you couldnt shift on your own and needed antibiotics thats a result of smoking as you may have been able to shift it if you hadnt been a smoker... there are other examples so saying you have cost the nhs nothing could be true but its more likely you wont have cost them much but you will have cost them

well actually if you go into their homw as part of your work you are probably doing something that's against your health and safety policy!
oh come on, if you're pissed out of your brains then you are ONLY damaging yourself, unless like a moron you're driving a car. Everyone, smokers include so don't be so defensive here, knows that fags and secondhand smoke damages health. Evey parent, with a brain, knows smoking damages health and the unborn baby.
My question, knowing it's just about the most habitual drug going, was/is geared to the 'why do you smoke, knowing the downside?'
Wrinkles, fagface, skin like leather, expensive, early death, amputation, leaving your children behind............... so why do you do it?
Why do people drink to excess ? from one who has never been drunk in his life.
Have you ever been drunk ? do you know how stupid people look and act when they are drunk, have you seen how aggressive some drunks become, have you seen the cost of alcohol abuse on the NHS ? do you know what you could buy with the money people spend on alcohol, I last had a drink in August, mmmmm what a cool saving I have made towards my Mercedes and holiday.
Smoking is legal, I choose to do it, being drunk in a public place is illegal, go preach to those breaking the law.

Damn! I actually agree with one of the alleged godlike's. So much for my rebel qualifications.
Exactly, why shouldn't you smoke? it is legal and smokers are not second class citizens. Don't understand why people think smokers should not have the same access to the NHS as others, yes it's a life style choice but so is playing rugby or squash and we don't object to them being patched up.
A lot of people do want to give up though Mids, when they do it can be very difficult and Fobs, hardly a brand new cutting edge ad is it?
I go into a lot of elderly peoples homes with my job (not in a criminal way)and so many ask me if I mind if they smoke? It's there home and how can I say I mind?
PS, I don't drink and am well known for driving very slowly, I do like a pie though, perhaps I should not eat them in public places? perhaps I should be more aware of people inhaling second hand blackberry and apple.
Don't worry about me being "Godlike" that is just the site being polite, I am sure having read many of my posts over the years they would rather label me as "pratlike" lol
Bill Hicks had it right. As a smoker the health services knew what was killing him, it's us non smokers that have the NHS buggered, they have no idea where to start with our ailments.
