Smokers offered money to give up
Quote:
Smokers in the poorest areas of Dundee are being offered £150 worth of groceries by the health service if they are able to give up cigarettes.
Participants in a 12-week scheme will be given £12.50 a week by NHS Tayside if a carbon monoxide breath test proves they have not been smoking.
The money will be credited onto an electronic card which cannot be used for cigarettes or alcohol.
There are 36,000 smokers in Dundee, about half of whom live in poverty.

Why should they get more money just for not smoking? This is so wrong!!
