Too right Jajb, what a change to now come home after a night out and not smell of 'other People's cigarette smoke.

As for smokers paying for ones health care, I agree except it should apply to any form of self harm, not just smoking.

About the only good point about smoking is that it collects more in taxes than gets spent on the habit and it's ailments.

Of cause smokers hate this, but hey, it's something only they can change.

Yes Jayb, it will be interesting now to see whether they give up now that the hand outs, what many relied on to replace the waste on neccecities for their families, such as food, cloths and shelter, because at $210 per week for the average addict, that's a huge chunk out of the budget.

I would like to think they quit, if for no other reason but the well being of their families, but I somehow doubt it.
