According to Google smokers cost the NHS £5bn and contributed £12 bn in tax and excise in 2015/16. How much will all the fanatical anti smokers cost the NHS as they live on to be 200 years old?

To be fair fat people probably don't contribute a fraction of what they cost the NHS

Good point, like it. I've given up smoking 3 times for periods of 4 years, 2 and a half years and 18 months and counting. One cigarette and I'm back to 20 a day again. To be honest I only give up each time (and it's bloody hard work) due to rising costs and it's impractical: I've never smoked around the kids or indoors and they were starting to twig on with me creeping off outside in the pissing rain every hour or so: set an example and all that. As it happens I'd have loved that bird sitting next to me, I'd be arrest for harassment as I'd have ended up in her lap trying to inhale her second hand smoke! If you like smoking, it's your money and health, crack on.

Yes like Midland I used to smoke 40 (60 & more If I was drinking) but quit 18 years ago. Funny part about it is If I had known it was going to be that easy I would of quit ages before that. Was it 18 years ago, or was it 18 years, 2 months, 22 days, 5 hours and 19 minutes ago ?
