    Its bollocks really.

    The goverment puts all these warnings on items they get huge amounts of taxes from.

    Its bizzare to say the least.

    I wish there were more smokers. If everyone were to quit, they'd have to make up the tax money from somewhere, and I'd rather it not be from my pockets.

    I think these scare campaign's for tobacco are a load of bull. Your going to die one bloody way or another and chances are it's going to be some form of cancer weather you smoke or not.

    If they want to get tough on smoking outlaw the sale of tobacco products.. Until then stop with the <censored> BS and major tax grab.

    You've only just started getting those pics? Damn, we've had them on our packs for quite some time now, everytime my pop buys a new pack I tend to like reading what it says although I don't smoke.

    My nan hasn't smoke in about 15 years but she used to be a chain smoker and it's now catching up to her as she is starting to develop emphysema which is due to her old smoker habbits. She quit when she went to a hospital and saw hundreds of patients mentally and physically disabled due to smoker with quite a few on life support.

    I prefer to die knowing that I'd tried to at least live a healthy life.
