Just been to mates party - Smoking
POSTED BY: lumoruk 2 months, 6 days ago...and been subjected to a torrent of smoke, first time in 3-4yrs. Made my asthma flare right up. Then he starts puffing on his inhaler...just like fat people, people who smoke should be banned from treatment related to their illness. It's money down the pan.

getting too much like a nanny state now (and i dont drink or smoke - but think everyone should be able to make up their own minds if they want to) Where do you draw the line? How about, not bother treating anybody. We can probably come up with some stupid tenuous reason not to without much thought  |

Agreed, they should. It's easy to say smokers, drinkers, fat people shouldn't get treatment. It is self inflicted after all. How about we take it one step further and say fit people who participate in sport should be treated the same. They know there's a health risk involved...... Where do you draw the line? How about, not bother treating anybody. We can probably come up with some stupid tenuous reason not to without much thought
the US do...privatised health care, but as we have the NHS surely in some ways the NI contributors and tax payers should have some say in the treatment available? |

Also with fat people who do they bother? its not as if they are smoking cigarettes and the smoke blowing in peoples faces, its not like someone drinking and getting in a fight or so drunk they do a prank like jumping off a bridge or walking in front of a car etc. The term fat is too vague alone. |

my response was that of a semi sarcastic/semi comedic one. the US do...privatised health care, but as we have the NHS surely in some ways the NI contributors and tax payers should have some say in the treatment available? If you pay tax/NI you should get treatment. End of. Alcohol/Fags/Choklid = Taxation, you pay for it, you should get it  |

True, and what I like to think about is where is the line drawn for fat people, does someone say all fat people shouldnt get help, the greedy ones shouldnt get help, the lazy ones etc and ignore say a healthy fat person who does say hillwalking or goes to the gym but may just eat a lot but have a very active lifestyle. Also with fat people who do they bother? its not as if they are smoking cigarettes and the smoke blowing in peoples faces, its not like someone drinking and getting in a fight or so drunk they do a prank like jumping off a bridge or walking in front of a car etc. The term fat is too vague alone. Iz you fat |

So you've basically found your natural level. I'm pretty much the same. 6'6" and over 20stone. I rarely eat sweets etc but do like sandwiches. I reckon I should sue Kingsmill for making such tasty bread
