i think it needs to be clarified mind, smoking doesn't cause cancer, it just leads to an increased risk of it, so its a gamble, like russian roulette. but why gamble, cancer is incurable so why gamble by increasing the risk of contracting it, its like russian roulette with 4 out of 6 chambers loaded or where each time you miss, you add another bullet

Yeah, instead of a revolver get a single barrelled shotgun - that way it'd be over quicker and the result'd be funner...
Also, paint a target on the wall behind them and they can get bonus points for the spray of brains on it.
Then you can draw up a scoreboard, make it a betting circuit and then write a movie script for it.
Good eh?
Ok, I'll get back in my box.

I'm sure ;D
And I think they have something like that on Five, not that I'd watch it.
Another point - shouldn't smoking be banned to save the NHS millions? I can't see one good point about smoking. The only reason people like it is the addiction.

They can just transfer the tax from fags onto nicotine tablets and other stopping aids.

The only reason people like it is the addiction. In a word no, and the conomists will never let it happen, the NHS spends a billion on smokers annually however tabacco tax brings in 9billion per year (figures rough), if anythign it would be economically worse to ban smoking. In addition to this smokers are more likely to have shorter lifespans cutting down on the amount of benefits having to be paid out to them over time. --Jakk

The Government gets much more moolah from the sale of cigarettes than they lose through treating the affects of smoking on the NHS - that's why, when the Government found out the dangers of smoking (in the 1950s, I think it was) they decided to keep it all hush-hush from the public. Nice going, boys...

It's so ironic that something that causes so much death brings in so much cash. Disheartening, in fact... but that's Capitalism for you
