do you think we should be able to retire earlier, or recieve an uprated pension to take into consideration our early demise?!

i think most people can relate the word fags to cigarettes, it would be silly to put 20 gay people into a box. now that is politically incorrect, and do not advocate this in any shape or form,

I wouldn't get too physical after smoking it. It does impair you. It also affects your lungs and throat and can do damage. I smoked pot for a few years when I was younger, along with cigarettes. I quit everything when I was about 19-20. I can't really tell if there are any issues relating to that. I did, on occasion, do other drugs and I am fairly sure I am still being affected. If I did not smoke pot, I know I never would have tried other things. I firmly believe it is the gateway drug that lots of people say it is. Just be careful.

Its doubtful that you will actually reach retirement age without some form of major medical problem, so it would be definitely be advantageous to have compulsory medical insurance to relieve the costing to the National Health Service.
As for enhancing your pension - its not really viable as you would not be paying your contribution to cover it, however should you decide to increase your pension contributions voluntarily you would reap the benefits providing you could get your provider to agree that they would payout prior to the current retirement age.
Additionally a private scheme could possibly help to provide for your family after suffering their early bereavement, providing of course the company concerned supports termination by self inflicted means.
As any form of smoking related disease would be considered as 'self-inflicted' a higher rate of insurance premiums could also be considered.
The only people that gain from fags is the governments excessive taxation schemes.
Do yourself a favour, drop the fags and think of Spock - Live long and prosper.

observent arent you!!! i dont think it would ever be allowed for us to get an earlier pension or for any allowences to be taken into consideration...i think we would just be told to quit smoking or never to start in the 1st place!!!
They probably only make cigarettes so addictable, so we snuff it earlier and then the goverment dont have to pay out any of that persons pension...at least its probably the way the British goverment work!
Very good point you make though!!!

No, sorry, because the number of people being treated for smoking related diseases puts enormous strain on the NHS, probably more so than the amount of pension you don't get dying young.

Can't believe the word f.a.g has not been deleted !!
Well...sue the company for your dependence (and do it for me too..much appreciated thanks :-)..and retire early in a sunny and balmy place :-)
Methink we should claim the taxes back :-) . That alone would allow us to quit working !
Jen : heard that it is pure government propaganda everywhere ! The taxes alone pay for all the smokers and the vast majority of all the diseases.
Cigarettes will always be legal : they provide too much needed revenue !
