Improve The NHS And Scrap The Two-Tier Health System?
How many people actually know the National Health Service is as bad as it is, and how many people only realise when it's too late? Why do we have a two tier health service in the first place, and why isn't everybody treated equally? Possibly because those that run the system and pay themselves nice fat salaries can all afford to go for private health treatment, so they're alright? Unfortunately they then are perhaps not too bothered that the bulk of the nation's two-tier health system is in an appalling state because they're all on the top tier....

No Smoking
It is way past time that smoking in confined public places, such as pubs, clubs and restaurants, be outlawed in the interests of general health, consideration and comfort. Too many people now feel that a ban on smoking in public places is long overdue. Checkout the viewpoints relating to this issue on the no smoking link. Finally implemented July 2007.

No Chemicals In Cigarettes
A call to remove flammable chemicals from cigarettes so that if they are dropped or put down they will go out, rather than keep on burning. This obvious and simple move would virtually guarantee the elimination of accidental fires and therefore save lives and property, as well as wasted resources. It would also be cheaper on a smoker's already challenged pocket, in as much as if you put your cigarette in the ashtray for a minute it will still be there when you come back, instead of burning away to nothing.
