malebrain Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Should people be paid to stop smoking? Some people are being paid £200 to quit and a new study States that it is a scheme that works. I would rather charge them for any smoking related treatment they receive. That may make a few quit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman1980 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 No, they should not be paid to quit smoking. The choice to smoke was theirs and they were not forced into it. The fact that they have become addicted to nicotine is not the fault of the state (who are the ones paying them to quit). There is already plenty of money spent on trying to get people to quit smoking and warning of the dangers. It is my view that these should continue and that there should be a review of the NHS that allows the state to charge a percentage of treatment costs back to someone who has made no effort to quit smoking and has developed a smoking related illness.

Mr. Sausages Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Pregnant women. If the incentive of a healthy baby isn't enough to make them quit you have question whether they're fit to be parents. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-31018631 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lao Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Well fuck the lot of them ...if they aint gonna pay me to give up then im not going to Just a thought, why not give up for you? or..... Give up just to spite them, show them that unlike pregnant women you have the willpower to give up without the offer of a cash incentive, and then rub you new found health and longevity in their faces! that'll show 'em.
