"A smoke-free team has been set up by the city council at a cost of £193,000 - but this pays for four people to work normal office hours"
Roughly £48,0000 a year each, for what amounts to little more than "cigarette wardens"
Now if each council has set up a team at roughly same size/cost that would be 193000*410= 79,130,000
Just under £80 million a year just to stop people lighting up.Comment

It would be interesting to know how much the people get paid each. The 48k will be cost, not pay.Comment

Originally posted by Old GregThe multiple of 410 sounds incorrect. The population of Leicester is approx. 280,000, that of England approx. 50,000,000 giving a multiple of approx. 180 (assuming that population size of council is a good guide to team size). Some councils are larger than others and some overlap in terms of geography but have different responsibilities.
