Raggytash,Alcohol and cigarette smoking, puts pressure on the NHS, So it is clever to try and discourage it, it is not clever to have old people being taken to hospital with hypothermia. I voted for the labour party but i did not vote for policies such as cutting winter fuel allowance. however if he is clever he will change his mind and reduce the allowance instead of totally getting rid of it, if he does not the tories will win the next election
