Re: In case you had any doubts!!!
The reason for the abhorrence of spitters is originally in the belief that it spreads tuberculosis.
"Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease which is responsible for more deaths than almost any other infectious disease, and was declared a 'global emergency' by the World Health Organization in 1993. TB is curable with a combination of specific antibiotics, but treatment must be continued for at least six months. Today about 7000 TB cases are reported each year in the UK. Most cases occur in major cities, particularly in London. Although anyone can catch TB, for most people in the UK the risk of contracting the disease is very small indeed.

Spitters told to clean up their act
