Kerrangaroo Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 My wife stopped as it was unhealthy and getting expensive. Shes quit 7 years now. However I wouldnt stop something because the government told me to. People dont exactly trust this government so are more likely to do the opposite. I remember an advert the government did a while back about know your numbers for alcohol consumption. It was designed to reduce drinking. However while me and the OH were watching it seeing the crisp pint with the frothy number and the crisp glass of wine. We ended up wanting a beer and going to the pub . So the government campaings are not really that good. Maybe the ad was paid for by the brewing industry which would make it a very clever reverse psychology advertisemment.

Deep down you suspect it's a big lie and smoking is really good for you, I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNM Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I stopped smoking two years ago and no longer have any desire to smoke. I may start again however just for October just to spite the tories. Typical idiot Labour voter mentality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government has none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda know what your saying, at the same time though the gov could be quite happy having the hugh amount of money coming from the tax of cigs, yet they would sooner have everyone in Britian off them, that tells me they are concerend for long term health and the cost to the NHS. Does anyone who has a child the house need someone with credibility to tell them to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodmally Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Typical idiot Labour voter mentality! No its just protesting about the government lecturing us on how to live our lives. Actually Labour were worse than the tories with this. I've lost track of the amount of cancer causing things there are out there. Everytime I pick up a newspaper something new causes cancer. Labour were even at one point trying to stop people smacking children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
