Taxpayers’ money gets spent in increasingly unusual ways these days. Just a few months ago, we were told that we’re buying some rubbish bits of banks and yesterday I awoke to the somewhat hilarious news that health officials in Dundee have decided that they are going to bribe people in order to get them to stop smoking.

Apparently, cigarette smokers can be tested weekly (how much does that cost I wonder) and expect anything up to £12.50 per week off their shopping if they pass the test proving that they haven’t lit up. That money should be pumped into alternatives to smoking like the electronic cigatette, not pumped into the pockets of weak-willed smokers. It’s a sorry state of affairs when you have to get money off the Government to stop you from putting a little white stick in your mouth; these people on the trial must feel like they’re living back at home with Mum and Dad, getting paid not to hit their little brother or sister.

Not only is this scheme ridiculous, it is irresponsible because it encourages smokers to feel rewarded, therefore the money that they’re given on the ‘Smart Card’ could easily be spent on treats which will inevitably promote unhealthy eating/drinking. It’s a vicious circle, and is not being welcomed by some non-smokers or ex-smokers who have totted up their bribe back-pay.

Well we may not give you money to buy your weekly shopping but the electric cigarette that you could be using right now from Smart Smoker could make you better off financially in the long run and help you to enjoy doing the weekly shop with your own money!

The e-cigarette from Smart Smoker is the only real alternative to smoking regular cigarettes and is widely available from the Smart Smoker website.
