On a sidenote smokers are too harshly punished atm i think (i dont smoke). As long as you dont force people to work in a smoky environment as long as the landlord/owners are ok with you smoking go for it i say :P.
OK, playing Devils Advocate here, there has to be a cut off point for this obsese thing. I am 16 stone, 6ft 3, according to statistics im overweight even for (my) large frame - as they delicately put it. If i pump the guns up for the next few months at the gym i'm liable to bulk up and potenitally put on more weight. Could i then fall into the obese catagory? yes, you put morbidly obese, which i'd like to think i'm far from, but who's to decide and who's going to regulate these chubbers? Bring a portable airline seat, if you can't squeeze your cheeks into it without overspill am i taxable?

FWIW i totally agree, just can't see it happening.
