I hate being told to stop doing something for my own health. To be honest, I'd rather have a load of fun until I'm 50 and drop dead than have a really fucking boring life and live to 90, given that from 65 onwards I'll probably have bad bones and dementia and shit anyway. Until medical science has advanced to the point where being old isn't incredibly shit, I'll stick to the fags, booze and drugs cheers.
It always makes me laugh when non-smokers claim that smoke free bars mean they go out more. There were a few no smoking bars in Brighton long before the retarded ban kicked in and none ever lasted more than six months. By banning smoking in bars the government has cut their income from tobacco taxes, cut income from booze taxes and increased the unemployment benefits pay-outs when all the barmen and landlords lose their income. The resulting cost far outwieghs any benefit to the cost of the health service.
There were moves to ban cigarette advertising in the Czech Republic a few years back which was swiftly ended when the tobacco companies pointed out that revenue from tobacco taxes were five times the cost of smoking related illness to the heath service.
How ya doing, buddy?
