Why Smokers should be refused NHS treatments - Period

Well we know Labour Government could not run a bath, so it’s time MrCrip to start put my manifesto together for a better Britain, and here’s a snippet of one of the policies.

NO NHS TREATMENT FOR SMOKERS - PERIOD

Why is it that people who don’t smoke should have to wait for hospital treatment when those idiotic twats who chug away on cancer sticks get the same rights? It’s frikking wrong, simple as that.

Smoking Kills According to the Office for National Statistics, In the UK, 25% of men smoke and also 23% of women. Personally I think that figure is incorrect, whenever I am out there always seems to he hundreds of little chav sluts with a cancer stick hanging from their mouths.

In fact thinking about it, I think the National Insurance rate should be increased for smokers, after all think of the NHS resources these greedy bastards consume when they get ill as a result of there smoking. I also do not believe that any preventions to stop smoking should be free of charge! Bollocks, you smokers are happy to spend £5 for a packet of cigarettes, so why not pay the same for a treatment to stop smoking?

Just imagine taking 25% from the current NHS waiting lists, we might actually start to have an efficient Health Service then! If we then rid ourselves of the illegal immigrants from the NHS, those people who deserve NHS treatment would get it! In fact why do the NHS treat adults who do not have an NI number? That’s probably another question for a separate blog.

Now, if a smoker can prove to their doctor they have stopped smoking for more than six months,they would then be entitled to get treatment on the NHS. Away from traditional patches and stuff, there are plenty of private health clinics that are now offering the Champix stop-smoking treatment from Pfizer.

One such clinic is The Online Clinic, they essentially look after all the ailments that you should not be bothering your GP with. I had a look at this new ‘Stop Smoking’ drug on offer, here’s how Champix works. (taken from The Online Clinic)

Champix is a non-nicotine medicine which is used to help you stop smoking.
Champix can help to relieve the craving and withdrawal symptoms associated with stopping smoking.
Although you are not recommended to smoke while taking this treatment, Champix can also reduce the enjoyment of cigarettes if you do smoke when on treatment.

Think about how much extra resource there would be for those healthy people that do not smoke if NHS treatment was taken away from smokers. I also don’t believe the NHS should fund Viagra either, here’s why, if your bird is that minging that you need the magic blue pill to get a stiffy that should be telling you something [TANGENT]

So there you have it smokers, if someone sensible was in charge of this country you would have no option but to quit smoking, because under my laws and constitution you would not get seen by your GP until you had quit the weed.

Check out the full information on Champix at The Online Clinic, you weak minded people who need to kill themselves with a stick of cancer might actually learn something.

You are obviously a non-smoker, for which you are to be applauded. I got hooked on nicotine over 30 years ago. Way before health warnings were being published and the money grabbing wankers we call government decided to go all PC about it. In fact, we were pretty much encouraged to do it. Not surprising considering the billions of pounds in revenue that they were raking in every year.

Now the government has decided we shouldn’t smoke, we are being made to feel like second-rate citizens, even when we go down to our local of an evening. What next? Banish smoking in our own homes? Banish tobacco altogether? Great ideas for future generations, but what of those of us still addicted now?

The government has been happy to take a big chunk of cash from the smokers each time they bought a packet of cigarettes over the years, feeding their addiction. So yes, I think they should be happy to subsidise the costs of Champix and other smoking cessation treatments.

I’ve had this debate recently with a few of my peers. Whilst in some part I agree with the notion of penalising people who blatently cause themselves harm, where do we draw the line? Should we start refusing treatment to people who get hit by a car because they weren’t looking where they were going? Or refuse to treat somebody who fell over because they were drunk?

If we start playing the blame game with the NHS it opens up a whole can of worms likely to induce a system, as bad as, if not worse than the judicial system for deducing if a person’s life deserves to be saved. Furthermore, do some people deserve not to be treated for reasons outside of blame? Should murderers and rapists be allowed free NHS treatment while smokers are made to pay?

In light of all of this, I would say that you are wrong. Very, very wrong.

We are all human beings no matter what we do or don’t do in our lives. That makes us all equal in the eyes of God. And that means we all have the same rights to treatments, justice, housing, welfare, whatever.

It’s so easy to slag off something you don’t understand. I suppose that is the driving force behind the disgusting actions of today’s youth.

Man’s Law is worthless compared to God’s Law.

Where in the bible does it state “Thou shalt not smoke”?

My death day is already decided, as is everyone else’s, regardless of wether we smoke or not. It’s all in our DNA and God’s individual plans for each and every one of us.

Smokers gernerate 8billion in tax revenue every year and the cost of treatment required by smokers is 3billion, surely it makes sense to let us carry on enjoying our bad habbit and fund the NHS for everone else to use it for free.

If you stopped smoking you would only spend your money elsewhere.

The Treasury would then find other ways to get your cash.

I stand by what I say. Smokers should have to wait for NHS treatment.

Then investigate the reason why people smoke. Smokng is the single most pleasure I have in my life. There is far too much paranoia these days about smoking - in a word it is a load of crap. Smoking has saved lives too, especially amongst the mentally ill. It boils down to personal choice. There is no plausable reason why pubs can’t make up their own minds as to wether people are allowed to smoke or not on their premises - we should all be allowed a choice to fit our concerns. My wife and I no longer go out - wherever we go we can’t enjoy it because we can’t smoke. My advice to anybody is not to start smoking - it is a trap that leads to financial devestation but if people are already hooked on the stuff then their views should be respected. I repeat myself: There is no proven case that passive smoking has killed anyone. Remember the ad - “A pint and Castella go together”? Kids shouldn’t be in pubs - it is the domain of adults who want to relax after a hard day’s graft without the irritating behaviour of unruly children. I am tired of this country treating me as an outcast. Kids shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near pubs let alone inside them. Crazy!

I agree that smoking is bad and i’ve heard all of the lectures, and YES we are indeed the 2nd rate citizens. BUT you my friend are pretentious cunt, ” cancer sticks “? you are trying to makesmokers look like bad people. Everybody deserves equal treatment from the NHS, its byaast the way they won’t give smokers the help they need, Some smokers just can’t quit take this for example and tell me that you dnt even feel the slightest bit sorry for him.
