I think its great, smoking is a filthy habit which many people in London do, I hate it when I'm sitting in the bar at my university, you can sometimes literally cut through the smoke with your hand it can be so thick. And I find nothing worse than to pay for such a nice meal and be suffocated by the smoke pouring out from the non-smoking section, it can really spoil my meal.

I'm all in favor for the idea of treatment contracts which the Uk is considering.The amount of resources these people take up is the reason why our health system is in tatters.

Quote:

Overweight people and heavy smokers would have to sign a contract with their GP, agreeing to shed stones or give up cigarettes in return for treatment. Those who failed to keep their side of the bargain, or who missed booked appointments, could be denied free care.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Smoking areas do nothing, the smoke travels around the whole room.

I can't believe how many people still refuse to believe the dangers of second hand smoke. Besides, linking those 2 articles does nothing, I can link to a 100 more government reports and scientific studies/experiments which say the contrary.

Also of note those 2 articles are 6 years old.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
