It's bad for you and smells like crap, and if you stop you save even more money, and can be happy that it's not going towards stupid things that are unrelated

Another MP.

Ok she was a bit fat, but hardly enormous. And she had it done? Why did the surgeons even do it?

That really is bloody lazy.

If she's paying for it, what's the problem? So long as it isn't paid for by the taxpayer (which based on reports, it wasn't) then so what if she wants to be sedated and cut open on an operating table?

851421 2010-01-26 07:06:00 Personally, I would raise tobacco tax high enough so that smokers would pay for the yearly cost smokers impose on the rest of the population.
From reading a Canadian site a few years ago, and things would be similar here, smokers more than compensate for there cost on society.

851422 2010-01-26 07:42:00 smokers already do, without tax I think a pack is around $4.00 or something, with tax its $13.00 or something like that.
The thing is though, say they did waste smokers, who is next? And who would be after them?

The funniest thing is the most unhealthiest people are the ones trying to tell everyone how to wipe their own ass.
