tinfoilhat Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 well obviously no fine, you are free to go ---------- Post added 18-08-2015 at 16:23 ---------- so then the police come and establish who did what, and we go from there..... ---------- Post added 18-08-2015 at 16:24 ---------- In a nutshell the perpetrator bares the brunt of the costs - maybe throw some restorative justice in there too for good measure... ---------- Post added 18-08-2015 at 16:27 ---------- likewise gastric band - PAY UP illness caused by smoking - PAY UP It sounds harsh but thats life... So a police investigation when there otherwise might not have needed one. When are we fining drunks? At the hospital (I never had any money left after a night out for a cab) or are we adding admin and/or court costs to all this as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) likewise gastric band - PAY UP illness caused by smoking - PAY UP It sounds harsh but thats life... Gastric bands are thought to be cost efficient when compared to the costs of treatment of obese patients Also, how would you confirm that any illness that smoking can cause was caused by smoking? Sometimes non-smokers also get illnesses that are often attributed to smoking. Would you also treat sexually transmitted diseases?

altus Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 illness caused by smoking - PAY UP Someone who smokes will be along in a minute to point out that the tax they pay on tobacco will cover the costs of the extra healthcare they may need.

TJC1 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'd probably go as far as to fat tax 2 seats on a bus - I maybe a little lenient on this point however. ---------- Post added 18-08-2015 at 16:49 ---------- Would you also treat sexually transmitted diseases? NO WAY. I'm not going near any warty jacobs cream crackers, sorry. ---------- Post added 18-08-2015 at 16:49 ---------- Someone who smokes will be along in a minute to point out that the tax they pay on tobacco will cover the costs of the extra healthcare they may need. double taxation.

Gerritsen Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Just like the AA, Police, Taxies etc. You never turn the engine off. If you do you then run the risk it may not start up again. Just like working in an office full of Pcs, They run 24/7 Running the risk turning them of and not starting in the morning is a chance no one will take. Going from hot to cold runs the risk of components failing through temperature change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I must have this amazingly reliable laptop then, it's always being turned on and off and doesn't cause any problems... And I have a car that stops the engine at every junction to save fuel an automatically starts again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
