re: UK parliament one step closer to passing landmark smoking ban

When has a ban ever done that? Some of you need to pick up a history book for once in your lives.

Let's review things for you since you seem to be confused.

* Tax-payers foot the bill for a lot of people's healthcare caused by their poor decisions.
* Smoking causes long-term severe health conditions.
* long-term severe health conditions cost a lot of money.
* No more smoking means there are less long-term severe health conditions caused by said smoking.
* Less long-term severe health conditions means less money having to be spent.

I hope this helps. You need to pick up a book for once in your life. Any book. Pick one. Preferably one with more words than pictures.
