    Tax Payers to Fund Adult Toys and Downloads

    The NHS Stop Smoking Quit Kit, contains calming audio downloads, a stress toy and a tool to help smokers work out how much money they are saving by quitting.

    If it helps even 1 in 100 to quit smoking it will probably save the tax payer funded NHS millions in the long run.

      It will probably cost Govt more in a long run since:
      a) smokers pay extra tax
      b) smomers die earlier before they can claim pension

        Cynic!

        But you're probably right.
