    Strain on the NHS??

    The tax on fags keeps the NHS going. If everyone stopped smoking income tax would probably rise quite a lot!

    Same old excuses from the smokers. Income tax, blah,blah.

    Can't wait to wave out the window from a nice clean, smoke-free zone when it's peeing down outside. Hee, hee, hee.

    Just come home from the pub. Majority non-smoking, minority smoking (2 people), still smell of smoke.

    Perhaps there is some hope for those that believe in supporting the nanny state?

    I agree that smoking is bad news, and don't smoke inside where my kids are. But it could be said it's the 'nanny state' and do-gooders that are behind bans in public places. Saying that, I agree with that to, just because you work in a pub should not mean you have to suffer hours of passive smoking. But the tax on smoking would leave a nett defecit if everyone gave up, even after the costs associated with treating the afflicted were reduced. I'll just get my coat...
