God I hope not,
I thought common sense was doing better than it did in my day in regards to smoking. Born in 1970 I was an 80's teenager and I started smoking at 13 because a cousin who used to let me hang with him even though he was 2 years older than me smoked. I then went to a boarding school where they sold you tobacco through the tuck shop even though we were under-age as long as you provided a permission slip. Back then it was the done thing.
I tried to give up when I was 18 by stopping as I was getting on a plane heading for a family break visiting my brother who worked and lived in the Bahamas at the time,
At the time I thought it would be a good way to kick the habit and I was fine over the 8 weeks abroad but started again within a couple of weeks of being back in the UK. I smoked fairly heavily and made several half hearted failed attempts to give up and only managed to do so when the nicotine patches got invented. Using a daily patch and a stick of nicotine gum any time I got a bad craving I finally kicked the habit. I've now gone into my 8th year and still have an opened 1/2 ounce pouch of Golden Virginia and Rizla's in a cupboard draw somewhere, If it hasn't turned to dust by now :)

If any of you do smoke and do want to stop try the patches and keep a pack of the nicotine gum close at hand so when you get that intense craving (and you probably will) you can chew a piece of gum. I can't remember whether I did an 8 or 12 week patch course but in that time I only used up one pack of gum, Don't get into a habit of using the gum on top of the patches all the time, only use it when the cravings hit hard.

everything has chemicals in it... food water... etc

That's what started the no gm fad a few years back.
 
How is the NHS going to survive as it is if every 1 in 2 people get cancer, I know science will advance us to the point most forms are curable but it's an incredibly expensive process considering the amount of people that will be.
 
Unfortunately the prevelance of Cancer nowadays is a by-product of our modern lifestyles. We are just permeated by chemicals that are used in all our products, in the air and food we eat.

Hopefully we will find a 'cure' for Cancer that is less intensive and expensive than it currently is, or it will just be one more nail in the ability to provide free healthcare.

Under the current model, the NHS, pensions and elderly care are not looking very viable.

It is going to be a brave new world I think...Logan's run maybe...
