Does anyone know, or even care, that the NHS spend more than twice as much treating obesity related diseases than they do treating smoking related diseases? Do you think we should refuse to treat people who eat too much junk food?
Do people realise that smokers pay tax which contributes to the NHS?
I work with a semi-professional rugby player. During rugby season, not one week goes by when he doesn't come in to work with some minor injury. He has had his nose broken three times while playing rugby. It's his choice to play - do you think we should not treat him? Should his team-mate not have been treated when he broke his leg?
Should we refuse to treat firefighters - because after all they know that they could well be injured doing their job?
Should we refuse to treat people who drink too much?
Honestly, I can't believe what some people on this thread are saying
Oh - and just for the record, I don't smoke. I do however, love this quote by Bill Hicks:
"I smoke. If this bothers anyone, I suggest you look around at the world in which we live and shut your ********* mouth."
