Oh goody, when will that be?

Hopefuly in time to return & haunt you :-)

I don't crave the attention of the NHS, in fact I'd like them to
leave me alone & stop lecturing me. My kids don't passive smoke,
they don't live at home.
If you smoke, then you crave the attention of the NHS - and did you
smoke when the kids were at home?

We only smoked in the kitchen, because they 'didn't like the
smell'. However, since passive smoking doesn't represent a health
hazzard its not a problem.

typical smokers attitude, sure any smoker can find information to
back up this claim but I can find just as many to prove it is a
health risk

You are wasting your time.. he doesn't want to believe and he wont.
The same as he always ignores the costs of smoking related illnesses
that aren't a part of the NHS budgets, things like disability
payments, etc. All of which make the pathetic amount paid in smoking
tax look rather, well, pathetic.

Not my figures Dennis. The taxation income from smokers is an
indisputable fact. Even you can't argue with that. It's in excess of £7
billion.

The figure of £1.5 billion is the 'official' NHS figure for treating
'smoking related disease'. Bearing in mnd that they include every
possible thing that could plausably be caused by smoking and are wildly
exagerated. Do the math.

As I said, refuses to add in anything not in the NHS budgets.
The NHS doesn't treat disabilities so they are not in the NHS budget.
The NHS pays to amputate a smokers legs but it doesn't pay the maintenance
costs of that smoker later, that 20 year cost comes from other sources which
we tax payers have to foot the bill for.
Do the math, if you dare.
