They should quit. For their own health

Indeed, I don't even know why I smoke tbh. It's more habit than enjoyment.
On the child allowance subject (I am not very knowledgeable with that area) but somebody I was speaking too was annoyed that their child benefits would be cut, despite them earning over the 60k barrier. I agree it should be cut. They earn enough and why should they be given money because they decided to have children? They don't need it. It's like me, I'm entitled to working tax credits, but I don't take it as I don't need the money as I earn enough through my own merit. I see a lot of people in our country who expect money for nothing but are not prepared to work hard for it.
