What now for smoking?

[Paddy]

Just thinking how sad clint eastwood used to look chomping on that cigar in all those westerns. If only he got out his tofu bar, and whipped the baddies around the head with his handbag

Clint Eastwood has been a life-long non smoker apart from the cigar in the movies.

I reckon that as the smokers gradually die out (literally) there will be much less uptake from young uns - I mean you don't look cool stood in wet pub doorways do you?

Can't tell you how many young (ie: under 18's) I see smoking on the train platform. Smoking will always be cool amongst the teens and possibly even pre-teens. Obviously the message that the earlier you start, the worse you get hooked, the greater chance of lung cancer and eventual death.

Now you can't smoke anywhere but in rain-soaked streets do we think that smoking will gradually die out?

Seems like common sense will eventually prevail when people think how much they are paying to basically look sad.

Well, for a lot of youngsters, standing around in dark alleys or outside off licences or bus shelters in all weathers smoking either a fag or a spliff doesn't seem to do their sense of 'cool' any harm.

But then Gordo will realise that he's losing a load of cash from people not smoking, and then work out a way to introduce smoking back into the population.
