Sorry , but this in nonsense . Smokers cost NHS much more than they contribute through cig taxes

I'd love a shisha section at Odsal

Your post is the one that is complete nonsense. Smokers pay far more than they take from the NHS.

DO NOT EVER... compare me or anyone else to Nazi's, Fascists or Adolf Hitler!!! Just because i have an opinion what gives you the right to compare me to someone who was responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people???

I'm all for live and let live, but some of the comments on here have gone beyond idiotic. Are the smokers on here really so selfish? I have no issue with smoking, and smoked for a long time, but no longer do, but I would hope I was never as rude or ignorant about where I chose to smoke as some on here appear to be. What about a bit of consideration for others?

I stand corrected and well and truly admonished . My apologies . It shows the need for checking out research properly , I guess . I asked the question on internet in a biased way tbh and had plenty of figures saying what I wanted to hear . However , after your reply I checked from a more neutral basis and the facts do speak for themselves . Approx cost to NHS £ 2bn versus approx tax generated from cig taxes £ 10 bn . Not even close . Sorry . At least it was a fellow Cas fan that corrected me i suppose that's some consolation

i personally think this was a waste of a post .... ive just bored myself to death after reading 8 pages of it ..

Is it just smoking cigs on the terraces that people have an issue with? It's just this season I can't get through one half without a blast of crystal meth!

I had dog the bounty hunter and his gobby wife outside my house this morning.

I have no problem with people smoking. If they want to wreck their lungs and stink like seven shades of Hades then so be it.

What I do have a problem with is anti-social smokers and unfortunately since the hefty in-roads into making it more difficult to smoke in public places there seems to be a direct correlation in the rise of anti-social smokers.

I don't think it takes too much intelligence or basic human manners to accept that if you're doing something that affects people around you in a negative way then you take care about how you're doing it.

I for one would support a total ban in all sporting arenas. I would hazard a guess that the majority of smokers would suddenly find they could suddenly last 95 minutes of a rugby match without a fag
