Was driving along and heard this too Jambutty, was screaming at my radio "£4 billion put into the system!!"
As I smoke heavily myself, would not wish our future children to adopt this habit .. silly habit really isn't it ? Remember telling my own dad off for smoking bless him, only smoked 10 Woodbines per week at the most, but got caught up in it. Could help, not sure.
The only annoyance to myself would be to queue up at a counter only to be told they have none of my brand. Asda sell out of it regularly, but I can at least see if there is none in the slot to save me the time. Same with newsagents. Would I have to go through the diatribe of asking, "Well, what have you got ?"
