Hide and seek.. Will playing games appeal to underage smokers?
Following recent legislation tobacco displays will be banned from shops. This is another government attempt at cutting down on the number of smokers in England. The last initiative worked- as far encouraging people to quit smoking and protecting the health of non- smokers goes. The smoking ban DID however have a massive impact on small business’s, especially on pub trade. As the smoking ban was enforced pubs have lost trade.
And with the news laws to ban all tobacco displays plenty more small businesses feel that this will cut their sales so significantly that it will cause them to struggle.
It has been questioned whether this is a good time to bring in the new laws. The country is in recession and small businesses need as much help as they can get as many of them battle through the current economic crisis.
But, I feel that regardless of the pubs that have lost out since the smoking ban, and the shops that will probably lose out due to the ban of tobacco displays. The nations health should surely be the government’s first priority.
They feel that the ban will prevent children from smoking. As there will be no point of sale advertising. I have my doubts about how effective it will be as many children choose to smoke because its dangerous and risky, and the fact that it is frowned upon (for good reasons) by many adults makes it ‘cool’. I worry whether hiding tobacco products might increase the appeal for children. Children may now feel that smoking is an even greater risk of rebellion.

Don’t let your Christmas party lead to a killer hangover
There is absolutely no acceptable excuse for drink driving – I would find it impossible to believe that anyone isn't aware that it is extremely frowned upon in our society and is of course, very dangerous. Especially after these messages were dramatically reinforced as part of the recent ‘know your limits’ campaign that shocked us all with disturbing adverts showing us frightening videos of drink drivers killing children.
So those of us that aren’t irresponsible and reckless safely take a taxi home the next day, we go to sleep and then... When do we next drive? The next day; when we are safely under the limit?
I was reading an article in the Daily Mail that brought to my attention the fact that many of us drive hung over. I am usually prone to reading over and ignoring the constant, and often unreliable health scares published within the Mail: Unnecessary health scares such as: ‘How teaching children to eat more slowly cuts cancer risk’.
But, this particular article made me stop and think.
Being hung over the day after drinking- suffering with tiredness, headaches, lethargy and sometimes nausea is typical. Many people have to take days off work, as their concentration levels drop and they generally lose touch with the world. Yet, these people are, apparently ok to drive!
I read in the Daily Mail article that after completing simulated driving tests, using fit and then hung over test subjects, they found that the drivers that had been drinking the night before swerved more, and couldn’t always stay within the yellow lines.
But, the part I found most concerning is that the drivers who’d been drinking the previous night drove faster. Therefore more dangerously- as SPEED KILLS!
