Australia Is A Whole Different World, And These 50 Photos Are Here To Prove It

lmao

No, you need oxygen, food, water, pee, poo and sleep. The rest is want.

@Maiun you should check the numbers though. Cynically: The cost of smokers' medical care is about average (similar to a pensioner's), illness appears on average around or after pension starts, and they die 20years earlier. Conclusion: They pay the same in taxes but cost 20y less of pension (and won't need retirement home care)... So they save the state money, as well as overpay in tax levies. Conclusion: I want NONE of my friends to smoke, all the rest please go ahead =).

Funny enough none of that money ever goes to curing people of a nicotine addiction. Oh surte theyll throw some commericals on tv telling us GASP ' smoking is bad' becuase you know thats really a recent development. If they actually used the money to offer smokers ways to quit besides slogans and pamphlets id be with you. But the reality is that in the US it goes to CHIP childrens health insurance program. Which is fine I guess but shows the hypocrisy of saying folks shouldnt smoke but we depend on you smoking to be able to pay for this other program.

It is good to deter people from starting smoking but not good for people who are already addicted and are long time smokers. My hubby is a smoker and has tried quitting a few times to no avail. And ONE pack of 30’s cigarettes costs him almost $50.

True, let's heal smoke addiction eating junk food. Dr Nowzaradan feels happy

hmm. have you actually looked at the figures in the research on smoking? smoking raises your chances of developing some illnesses...by fractions. percentage points. second hand smoke is even less. them's actual facts.

Are we starting a ✨Riot✨ here?? Count me in.

Yah, only they’re not ‘prohibitively expensive’ for anything other than big companies profit. Smokers - who are addicts and therefore ill - only get punished.

Wow! Food in Australia is really cheap!

Well obviously it doesn't work and just makes poor people poorer. Throw your own money away and stop forcing your s**t ideas on other people.

I agree; however, I think some of the tax funds should help pay for programs to get people off cigs. We should force someone with an addiction into bankruptcy without trying to help them.

Sad thing is that if you're an addict you would neglect your basics needs over buying cigarettes. Gotta a friend whose father would rather spend money on his cigarettes than buying this son school supplies

Tax on cigs going up here in Indiana soon...about $2/pack. I’m all for anything which might convince someone to quit. My best friend has Lung Cancer...never smoked one in her life...but her husband did. Yet she’s the one with cancer!

Yes, but smokers tend to die earlier reducing the amount of time they need medical care.

I agree

your attitude towards humanity is a cancer.I hope your not a religious person because if you believe God created all then you should realize that God created us in his image. Tax that maiun.

Treat smokers? Alcoholic, druggies, gamblers yeas we will pay for them but not one penny on a smoker, we need their tax.

The tax taken from tobacco in the 1990's far exceeded the cost of the whole NHS in Britain

I would agree about the taxes, except that the people who raised the taxes did it not to get people to quit, at least not in my state. They did it simply and solely to make more taxes. The reason I say that is because they didn't raise it all at once, but little-by-little, letting the addicts get used to it. Very disingenous to say that they are doing it for the smokers.

don't be fooled, Tobacco smoke isn't as bad as they say, they just need to blame something, other than breathing car exhaust is killing you

Along with other people having to put up with second hand smoke, which can cause problems as well.

Are you a preacher?

There are many many more toxic chemicals in cigarettes these days. To make them burn faster..to make them more addictive so you buy more. There's your cancers.

But also sad, cos it’s mumma got killed :(

Not really, they are actually pretty clean animals

Since you got a shitload of comments that suck let me just say, I thought the same thing

Very efficient. I approve.

Except that is not quite correct. Tarzan pointed at himself 'Tarzan' then at Jane 'Jane'

@Tracey, seriously. There was literally NO point for any of that. It was so unneccesary that I don't even want to read it

First you have to prove a god even exists. If you think the god of the bible is good, you have to examine why? What actions in the bible did god do that make him good? There are many, many actions that god and jesus do in the bible that make them f-u-c-k-ing moral monsters. Sin is a fictional concept. If god is evil, then sinning might actually be a good thing; an act of righteous rebellion against an evil, vile, genocidal dictator. The god of the bible condones slavery and rape. Maybe this church should just close its doors, put on some air conditioning at home, and study secular morality.
