    Started smoking again after 9 years

    Silly, I know, but a crisis comes along, you get pissed and then all of a sudden you're on a pack a day again.

    Wonder how much my BUPA is going to increase?

    Look on the bright side. You'll get a much pension annuity rate.

      This is true. Apparently, a lot of people don't realise this when they fill in the health questionnaire and continue to put in the same half-truths they use for life assurance.

          How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  2% hit rate sounds a lot to me. Not that i'm anti-smoking.

                    What are the odds that smoking will kill you?

                    Actually if you look on page 3 it states 16.9 % chance of dying before 75 of smoking <25

                    If someone can be arsed to read it and interpret the figures please do
