Can I have £30 as well please.....

[Deleted User X18H]

....I haven't smoked for over 40 years!!!

Smokers offered £30 vouchers to give up (From The Argus)

Why would £ 30 be any incentive to give up. It will make no difference. People will give up if they want to.

So you take your carbon test to prove you smoke.4 weeks later you take another one to prove you haven't had a fag.You then get your vouchers,whats to stop you satarting again and wasting more NHS money.

Another waste of money and time.

People smoke - get over it!

Right, if I had a fag (I don't smoke), got tested and then went back a few weeks later, I would get a free £30 on providing a 'clean' breath sample?

Sounds worth taking up smoking (for one day only).

Or, does it not work like that?

Yes but after 1 fag you would be HOOKED by Mr Nicotine.

thats a shame as i would have spent the money on fags

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Its quite insulting really that they think people do not have the will power to give up on their own byt £ 30 will persuade them to. Pathetic.

 

[champion7]

If you want to give up,you will,if you don't,you won't.Being forced to won't work.

 

[Uter]

Madness. We need people to smoke more not less. The government's budget deficit is enormous and some asylum seekers out there are having to make do with carpets more than three years old!

I feel a bit right wing today, how about making smokers contribute to the cost of any treatment they need for smoking related illnesses ? Actually some Hospital trusts are now refusing to treat Emphysema patients who won't stop smoking.

 

[Notters]

Come off it, you would not be hooked after 1!

No, it wouldn't. The breath test measures levels of carbon monoxide (yes, that stuff you hear people dying of due to faulty boilers - that's what you're breathing in smokers!) in your system. That accumulates over time.
