Re: Stop smoking on the NHS? what a joke


I'm sorry you are not able to get help on the NHS Jac

I find the whole debate about drugs availability very difficult particularly as there are people with life threatening diseases who cannot get drugs which will prolong their lives but the NHS does not have the budget to fund them.

Different authorities have different demands on their funding - I have waited two years for an operation to enable me to walk without crutches/wheelchair/morphine partly due to funding for orthpaedics in our area.

Although smoking does cause health problems I guess funding for helping people to stop smoking is going to come below funding for conditons with a more immediate threat to life such as cancer etc etc

Keep trying Jac - you may find the position changes in the future
