I don't know myself as to alcoholic related illnesses and smoking,after all the taxes on these items bring in massive revenue to the treasury.
As it happens however,I know someone who is an alcoholic, he really has tried to keep off it but fails.
There again, he wouldn't be an alcoholic if there weren't dangers of him relapsing and drinking again.
If alcoholics are not drink free for at least 6 months,then they would not be considered for a transplant, however it cannot be right to leave people in pain and not help someone if the help is available.
As I have seen, it is very far from easy being an alcoholic, once the Liver disease is advanced too then it is a hard existence,I couldn't turn my back on them.
It is also the ignorance of other people too, when out with the person I am taking about it is incredible the pressure he gets from others saying ''one drink won't hurt you'' and some have even poured a single vodka into his soft drink too.
People with any eating disorders be it obesity caused by overeating or people starving themselves are as much a drain on the NHS but I still hold with the view, they need help as well.
Turning backs on people doesn't seem a constructive answer to such problems,that's my thinking anyway.
