Smoking Licence

Prof. Julian le Grand, former advisor to Tony Blair, wants to "help" smokers by tabling a proposition that anyone who smokes must be forced to spend £200 on a licence-- provided, that is that he also gets a doctor's signature showing that he is not a "massive risk" and declare himself a "registered addict."

Not surprisingly, Prof. le Grand also proposes banning food manufacturers from adding salt to products, an exercise hour for all employees during the working day and free fruit in offices.

Failure to eat the fruit will, presumably, be made an imprisonable offence.
