The only thing that this will achieve is that people will lie when asked about their habits. It is a well known fact that people already lie to some extent. Most of our doctors reckon that if someone tells them that they smoke 10 a day they usually smoke 20. I can see folk fibbing left right and centre and not only will that delay diagnosis of illness but may also lead to misdiagnosis.
