(Incidentially, the ban-smoking lobby always come down to the money that it’s costing the NHS to treat. All well and good, but consider this: if everyone stopped smoking today, then the tax revenue will dry up tomorrow, and the bill for treating the effects of smoking will need paying for the next 60 years. So how does that fit into your calculations?)
