I see people are droning on about tomatoes alcohol and cigarettes affecting people and blah blah...
I myself am a smoker, 10 - 20 a day depending on how pissed off I am for X reason. I'm also a drinker, I do like to go out of a night time and get rather sideways. I now don't eat tomatoes anymore but anyway...
I think smoking and drinking are issues that should be looked at as a very last thing because really they don't affect 'everyone' as Tom said.
Fair enough drink does put a lot of people in hospital from over consumption but personally the government needs to be looking at more pressing matters like the education system, for example I'm a dyslexic, which the teatures that taught me never picked up on, I therefore failed most of my exams on simple things like spelling and writing the wrong letters down etc. This was unbeknownst to me as well.
I don't think the rewards are good enough from passing a college or school exams and kids nowadays are too hooked on snorting coke, stealing cars and mugging old women and stabbing one another.
I mean the kids that are around now are our next generation. To me we stand no hope.
This leads me onto another thing... Punishment.
Our justice system I don't believe is harsh enough on persistent and serious offenders, for example the Venebles kids who comitted that murder are now free (AFAIK) and are living under different names. I believe they should bring back the death penalty (i know some people won't agree but mehh)
There's many more I could bore you with but most have been covered and cannot be arsed to post them up again. The above are just some of my more stronger feelings.
