Smokers

[HABA87]

Not as cool as it used to be.

Well done the smoking ban.

Other ways to consume cannabis

People will still smoke joints

Smelly ignorant scruffs.

Living to 90 puts a strain on the pension and welfare system, smokers generally die earlier. This off sets any strain they put on the NHS

Smokers can live to 90.

 

[Qwerty]

Smokers can live to 90.

Most won't and if they do they'll have paid a fortune into the system through tobacco duty.

Quit around 10-12 years ago. Was piss easy tbh.

I love when smokers trot out the old "Well me grandad smoked all his life and he lived till he was 96"

Aye but what about the millions who didn't.

If people want to do it let them, they'll invariably live shorter lives, stick a shit load of money into the system and not draw as much pension.
If we went down the road of carpet banning fags people would still smoke anyway.

There's less and less smokers so I'm assuming over time the numbers will dwindle even further

Blah blah blah, they're a massive drain on the NHS.

Same as fat people? Heavy drinkers?

This ,everyone I know who smokes has a manky set of teeth ,house stinks and are quite lazy .

 

[Blyth_Pirate]

In the spirit of all things PC, surely the thread heading should have read smoking persons. Absolutely outraged at being labelled a smoker and not a person.

They don’t stick a shit load of money into the system. As someone already said the cost to the nhs of treating smokers gobbles it all up.

Unless we work until retirement then instantly die, we all are a strain on the public purse. I hope I'm a strain on the pension system. Smokers die earlier than non smokers

Was having a tiddly wink last night with a relative who works in a chemist and he got on about this subject .He mentioned the amount of people who get their meds delivered to there door are all receiving treatment for smoking related disease .He estimated about 80% .

 

[houst69]

People who smoke and throw their dog ends on the floor particularly do my head in, especially where kids are playing. The main place it boils my piss is on beaches and around the pool on holiday

 

[citybythesea]

Should tax them more for the clean up bill for all cigarette butts discarded

That’s why the government are happy to try and get rid of it. They wouldn’t spend money on advertising how bad it is for you if it was making them money. Sad but true.

What about the millions of people who smoke cannabis and need tobacco to use it?

It's mostly a UK/European thing

 

[Tadger]

I packed in a while back, but a sanctimonious ex-smoker I’ll never be.

By all means talk about the health risks, people should know. Yes it’s a daft thing to do, but it’s something human beings have enjoyed for thousands of years. This attempt to portray smokers as bad people is very strange to me.
