well I used to work for Gallahers - Manikin cigar factory here in Cardiff - at the time a packet of B & H was about 3/6 - three shillings went to the government and the rest to Gallahers - so what d'you reckon the government reap from a pack of fags these days = at least a fiver |

well they've already covered the fags over in supermarkets - waiting for them to do the same with the booze, cream cakes and burgers - not forgetting the confectionary aisles of course |

Absolute disgrace I am obese and because I am obese potentially if I wasnt working I would loose out on benefits or tax relief if I didnt loose weight when will it be recognised that being over weigh is the same as drinking, smoking and drug taking along with depression etc that is treated completely differently??? It makes me soooooo mad hey why not shut all pubs and restaurants that'll stop us binge eating and drinking grrrrrrrrrrrr :-D |

I understood that the main problem with this ridiculous idea is that they will require confirmation of Obesity from the person's GP. GP's can't do that because of Patient Confidentiality...so I suppose they'll find a way 'round that next :-( |

Fully agree with you about feeding young children junk food, Sue. Apart from anything else - it's expensive. |

I have spoken to the manager of our local leisure centre who is totally opposed to what I have said but I think there should better provision made for the obese. |

I'd have to say that parents who smoke in front of their children are also setting a bad example health wise, if benefits are cut to fatties who refuse to excercise , they must also be cut to smokers who refuse to take prescribed measures cut down or stop surely? |
