But the latest work, based on the results of numerous different studies collectively involving millions of people, indicated that smoking bans have reduced heart attack rates by as much as 26% per year.

Therefore, no mistake for bringing in the smoking ban

this to me is one of the main reasons "Britains" in such a mess.:rolleyes:

After all, smoking isn't the only cause of heart attack, maybe the fat beggars should also be quaking, it won't be long before they get the same sort of treatment.

The "We know better than You" brigade are now stating to campaign for more taxes on soft drinks like Coke and Pepsi , citing health costs for obesity treatment .....total bull , just one more more way of raising revenue.

Re: at last. re.smoking..

There won't be any pensions to pay. Government's line will be, "You should have saved for your pension. We told you, didn't we? And did you listen?" They will then institute culling of the over 70s (licence required), with a "closed season" in August to allow grandparents to look after small grandchildren while the parents work to save for their pensions. :rolleyes:

every pub shoud have a small room at teh rear of teh premises..

to put the moaning sods in who constantly bleet on about smokers

even non smokers dont like them thats why most non smokers stand outside with the smokers because no one can stand to talk to them and dont want to be left alone in the pub with them.

so if your the one thats left sat in the pub your basically that popular that other non smokers woudl rather breath in passive smoke than listen to you whine :D

We in Canada had to "hide" our ciggies since last year, so it's like go into the store and guess which shelf they are hiding behind.
