Welcome to the SMOKING BAN page

Smoking in the workplace today (2007).

So does smoking help people to control their stress and anxiety level, well the scientific answer is NO! Smokers are actually more stressed than non-smoker, so given the government BAN on smoking in public places.

Smokers as they give up the fags are going to be in the short term a lot more stressed then usually but in the long run their stress levels will be lower.

To stop or not to stop

It is a habit to have a smoke,
While you having a laugh and joke,
But now the ban has come in force,
Giving up should be your cause,

All people should help them try,
As in pain they will cry,
Stress levels will go higher,
As they try to put out fire,

Spare money in their pocket,
Interest rates will surely rocket,
The NHS should surely gain,
As rising budgets are a pain,

The loss of tax must be replaced,
By another with a filthy taste,
But sticking with it we must do,
Reduce it down to just a few,

Children will become to say,
Never have they smoked a day,
For surely that is a good,
Their new health is a would,

So now do you decide,
To join with others on the slide,
The SMUGS website is here for you,
We will help your life a new.
