Thread Name: BS: Heart attacks drop by 25% -smoking ban
Subject: RE: BS: Heart attacks drop by 25% -smoking ban
Nowhere in my comments did I suggest such a thing TV.

Having recently buried an elderly mother who survived her husband by 30 years - I know what is required in caring for the elderly - yet the politicians and medics are hell bent on getting the population to live longer.

Death is a natural consequence of life and personally I would rather die a young smoker than an old dementia sufferer but it has to be a personal choice. And while everyone is applauding the decrease in heart attacks - who is considering the consequence of this.
Certainly not people in this thread.

As for stopping people from having children - China is at present beginning to have to face the consequence of that.
Young people pay the taxes that keep the old people cared for.
