Smoking

THE major cause of preventable ill health in the western world, responsible for more than 200,000 deaths per year in the UK. (Heroin only kills 400) and an annoyance to all those forced to inhale other peoples smoke.

So stop it

Immediately

Please

Unfortunately nagging isn't a good way to encourage anyone to give up. Even talking of the wasted money doesn't help; (20 cigarettes a day = £1,500 a year; over 20 years that's £30,000!)
The best way to stop, when you have decided you want to, is to go to a stop smoking clinic. Most people find it easier than they think it will be, 65% successfully stop
