Is there such a thing as a healthy obsession with buggery? Just asking for a friend you understand.

Any fatties out there? Obesity is still the biggest killer and drain on health resources, so maybe bear that in mind when you're getting all puritanical. Not defending smoking, but I'll guarantee there will be overweight people condemning smokers here.......

I agree with the smoking ban in pubs, makes them much nicer places, but thats pretty much when it became PC to make smokers social pariahs.

Been creeping up I think. When I was a kid - people just smoked. The rest of us knew it was a ticket to bad health. No big deal.
