As they say, you could get hit biy a bus tomorrow. would you jump in front of 20 buses tho to find the 1 that gets you?? some smokers light up at least 20 a day in a game of death to find the 1 that MAY get them and they pay for the privelage

For many years the Anti Smoking brigade said (as one of their weapons against us) that we were a drain on the NHS, you don't hear that argument from them anymore. A smoker pays around about £3-75 tax on each pack of cigarettes he or she buys. I have this idea, at one time some of the cigarette manufacturers put a voucher in each pack of ciggies. When you had collected enough of them (say around 100,000 ) you could get a set of screwdrivers . So my idea is that all the tax from cigarettes and tobacco sales gets put into building private hospitals for the use of us dirty filthy smokers, we then collect the vouchers and use them towards our medical requirments. Sorry you non smokers would be exempt from this. I can see it now, our own private wards, sky tv, nurses with little short uniforms (oooooooooo matron) and a menu to choose from smoked salmon to start followed by a rare fillet steak and sme nice mature stilton to finish off. I can see all you non smokers are envious and will probably go down the offie and buy yourself a pack of 20 straight after reading this. I am doing nothing illegal by smoking, so please leave me alone. Cheers

Is there one positive in favour of smoking besides "its my freedom of choice" which equally (probably more so) applies to non smokers?
