depends how much you earn
Smoking should be banned in Britain, I don't know the costs but, I would imagine however much income the government gains from Tax from this dirty habit, is probably outweighed by the cost to the NHS of treating smoking related diseases ? or not far off idk. Either way it's more of a moral issue, of course the cranky old smokers will cry nanny state but as far as I see it's a good thing in this case. Probably too radical an idea though, maybe more to the point it'd create a huge black market. Rock and a hard place  |

Is better late than never Kenny.
@Scandi I was thinking of people in average wage paid jobs. Even 20 a day taking a fair percent of their net wages. Spot on with the rock etc so will not be banned in the near future. |

Many smoke tobacco now; far cheaper, £2-£3 per day max I reckon.
I also believe that the ban in pubs led (or is leading to) their demise. Many are against smoking and I have no problem with this; it is a filthy habit and one I'm struggling to come to terms with (drink was easy by comparison), but I still feel that each town/borough/city should have a designated number of smoking pubs. If you don't smoke you don't have to go there but I would guarantee it would be filled with smokers AND non-smokers |

What about the staff, health and safety etc. |

Employ smokers but wait a minute, that's discrimination too!
However did we survive before the ban... |

I gave up with surprisingly little problem about 8 years ago having averaged at least 20 a day for over 40 years and haven't had nicotine in any form since.
This idea that smoking costs the NHS.state is laughable though. Smokers die early,non-smokers linger on and get all sorts of diseases eventually and draw pensions much longer. |
|
By:
not really laughable until we really know the actual figures.
Not just what smokers cost the NHS but the damage in passive smoking as well - and then there's the cleaning of those cigarette butts and damage to teeth. |

By:
passive smokers should buy their own imo.

By:
I'm sorry but non-smokers are going to die eventually and most of them won't go on in perfectly healthy fashion until they are 90 and then drop dead in bed. And then there are pensions paid out for much longer to non-smokers presumably.
The figures I have seen never give the whole picture. I no longer have any interest in pushing the rights of smokers but I do like a bit of logic. |

Exhaust fumes just as bad, probably more so than passive smoking.
|
|
By:
Passive smoking practically as bad as smoking, if people really want to smoke they should only be allowed to home.
|
|
By:
Really?
Like passive smoking is a major issue outside? As Kenny says, exhaust fumes are probably (and more than likely) worse |
|
By:
You really can't trust figures on passive smoking. If somebody presents with lung cancer and says they have never smoked but have worked/lived in a smokey environment they get a lot more sympathy (and better treatment ? ) than if they admit to being an inveterate smoker. But how do you tell so-called passive smoker wasn't an active smoker in years gone by ?
