Smokers Should Get Preferential Treatment On The NHS
As the tax on cigarettes in the UK pays anywhere up to 900% more than the cost to the NHS for treating smoking related illnesses, it stands to reason that smokers should get preferential treatment as they are funding many treatments for others.

Oh Jahwobble, you're going to make it really hard for all the unctuous little blowhards to get their self righteous on if you keep bringing up facts and logic and stuff.

Considering the money tobacco and cigarettes and lighters and papers and flints and lighter fluid costs I reckon perhaps they should.

Their illness is the fault of theirs, so they should be prepared to deal with such a setback when it occurs.

No smokers should seek professional help, and quit. Jahwobble.
