That would be really rubbing salt in peoples wounds wouldn't it, all GP's have a smoking clinic so if they do go up it will be cheaper to go to the docs and get them on prescription.

yes i do think that people will try and cash in . the cost of these gums and patches is scandalous I bet the profit mark up is astronomical. i really do think more should be done by the government to get those prices down its just racketeering in my veiw

Who cares? Its cheaper to get it on prescription and let the NHS fund the bill than buying it yourself more people will probably do that.

I hope so. Most people know though that the guy up stairs is a hypocrite.
