Case of the bleeding obvious to me. Why didn't we do this earlier ?

If just amazes me how selfish smokers are. Even with overwealming evidence some above insist it's rubbish and presumably continue to gas their own kids at home. If it was left to smokers to put their own house in order we'd still have 70% smokers but they'd love that. They like nothing more than to justify their foul disgusting habit. Society had to do something...

I can remember thinking at the time, what a small difference there was in their weights. I think I was expecting a much bigger affect.
That said, I agree with not smoking around children in the house now and, would never do it when I pick up my two granddaughters in a few minutes, for the day. I smoked all through my children's upbringing and it had no I'll affect on them.

Ummm...I am glad for you but, like Chrissa, your experience isn't statistically relevant. My Mum smoked from the age of about 14-15 and died of lung cancer at age 63....much in the way that her parents did at the same age.
I will repeat what I have already said, many times, about smoking. Its just common sense. We heard the same arguments years ago, when the link between smoking and lung cancer was first identified. The argument went along the lines of "well, my Dad smoked for ears and died when he was 99"
That was tosh and this current backlash against health reforms is tosh as well. I feel sorry for the people who still have to smoke but they have nothing to lose but their chains.

If there is anybody else who doubts the link between smoking and health should read the attached link, from the Welsh Government.
I should declare an interest here, as I work on the Welsh Health Survey.
Key headline ::: Smoking continues to be the greatest single cause of avoidable mortality in Wales. I have reason to think it is any different in England, Scotland and NI.
