    I think the government want their cake and eat it with the ciggies, the 50c addition in the budget indicates this, they dont want to loose the significant excise to the coffers. If they did treatments would be freely available from the Health Services (Champex, Patches nicotine replacement etc). This, in the long run would save the Health Services millions but the Government wont bite the bullet on it and would rather eek up the price for an immediate monetary gain at a long term cost to the country.

    If medicines were given away for free who's going to pay the bills for research and development of newer better versions?

    My Aunt had a friend who smoked two cigarettes a week after quitting and was considered by doctors a non smoker.

    I think the issue is it's not really usual for people who are not addicts to enjoy cigarettes you don't enjoy them after quitting or the first one. Most people don't like them and can't smoke unless addicted.

    How do you think they started in the first place if they don't like them?
