10 million smokers? So at £5 tax per packet, that's £50 million per day in tax. X 365 = £18.25 billion per year. But that can't be right, smokers are costing the NHS millions (so I have been told on this thread). Then when you consider we die young and hardly ever claim our State Pension, so say 8 ...

I Don't smoke.. But provide an ash tray for the smokers in my house. What puzzles me is when they've gone I'm left with their fag ends why don't they put them in the rubbish on leaving? I liken it to taking a dump in their toilet and not pulling the chain ...Most smokers are very thoughtless and ju...

I'd go one further and have Lancashire independent. We'd invade and retake Barrow and the South Lakes, build a wall south of Liverpool and Manchester and give Yorkshire back Barnoldswick.

Unfortunately, that would still not be enough for most non smokers

Common sense solution that respects the wishes and rights of smokers and non-smokers alike ..... you won't get far thinking like that, Damo !!

Why do you people keep providing sourcing that does absolutely nothing to support the claim you say it supports? Did you think i wasn't going to check you on that or something?

Republican Secretaries of State have used personal email before, but even so that wouldn't make her crooked, just irresponsible. Destroying evidence is a serious crime.

All Trump supporters are either racists or apathetic towards racism. Just look at how they react when a black person gets "uppity" by protesting something. They're also quite apathetic towards sexism too. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
