what would cost the care.

Now what if we all stopped smoking.

What would the state do missing all the money,and that is a lot.
A litre gaz would cost 2 euro than
or even more.

They would tune up taxes to a point where all the "healthy" non or anti smoke whining lobby would beg us to smoke again.

It's my choice and i won't sue anyone.


So, is this assuming they're not going to go on costly Cancer treatments?  The cost of Chemotherapy alone would be triple that of what the state would pay in benefits to a lived-long life.

My basic human right is to breath cleaner air, without someone messing it with cigarettes...

what do u think someone cost after the pensioned age.
Than u get dement and u get all the deseases u get when u get old the treathment the help u need to eat etc etc.
ill bet this costs way more

oh and research on cancer still has to be done smoke or not

everybody got the right to breath clean air but don't make a smoker a pariah that is ridicilous.

tuly the big anti smoke lobby is just a bunch of whining tards and i mean the original ones.

I think when you have a welfare state like some European countries do, if you smoke, you give up all rights to any health care money.

Levanger, a township of about 18,000 people in central Norway, banned all smoking by municipal employees during working hours on or off city property at the beginning of the year.

I hate smoking as much as the next fanatic non-smoker, but this is a bit much.  I'm not fond of being near a smoker after they've had a cig or two, but it's their right to smell like a filthy ashtray.  Although I wonder if this law would fly as an office policy in regards to people with allergies.  Some offices already forbid perfumes and colognes for this reason.

it violates the European Human Rights Convention.


wouldn't want to go against the EU, that's bad.

Anyone in Europe even remotely concerned that the EU is taking away your sovereignty inch by inch?

WWIII will begin in Europe, just as the other two have.
