Smokers die younger and put less strain on the health services, change my mind.
Honestly mate I don't know how you did it. I'm praying that my streak keeps on going but I am being sensible in that if I feel ill, I'm just not doing stuff like go to the gym, going the shops. Literally get on my bike and p*** off to the middle of nowhere to get out of the house.
But it is daft, they need to do something about it because it's not sustainable and people just can't do it. Not just for financial reasons, but so many other things as well. I've still not seen my baby niece who was born last week because her dad is having to isolate, even though my sister has tested negative.
Haha, yeah, it was a bit of a jibe like. Just you know, saw the term 'chronic smoker' and thought well, maybe just don't be a chronic smoker.
Always fry food
I think the point here is a good one even if he's come across as a bit muddled.
It doesn't help the families of those 63 people whose deaths have been recorded today (they won't have all died today, remember that) but as grim as it is there's an acceptance. Ultimately I thankfully don't have to come up with what that number is. Unfortunately, the people who do have to come up with it are idiots.
Made my point better than I ever could.
Assume there will be some legal challenges to this
Some absolutely brilliant writing (and acting) in that series.
Disease costs more than health maintenance, even for old people, and the rate of disease among smokers is very high.
I deleted the app.
But it's also the main reason why I'm going to get my second jab as soon as possible.
Watch LLs video, as they say, smokers die young for everybody else.
They are also an absolute travesty.
I can't get across how strongly I hate the idea of anyone - unless they're a criminal - being locked up in their home for 10 days.
Also, the idea someone shouldn't be allowed out to exercise (outdoors, when you can quite literally now go to events with 1,000s of other people outdoors) is insansity.
They need jibbing off as soon as possible and, in relation to the point you raised earlier Legs, it's things like this, and accepting things like this, which is why I get so mad when people say we need stricter restrictions. It's lunacy.
Sorry, I don't watch TV. But smoking is a risk factor in almost every other disease. Suicide though... that saves tons of money. If we're really into saving costs/balancing the NHS budget, we should do something forward thinking with the mental health initiatives.
If only they could find ways to tax mental health.
