Smoking. Millions of euros of taxpayer money spent every year on those lung cancer patients which could be well spent elsewhere. It's also an activity that negatively affects not just the smoker but everyone around them.

Smoking is something I truly despise, we all know that it is bad, really bad for you, we teach kids about it, yet people still start smoking.

Do as New Zealand did, set a cut off year, if you are born after 2015, you will not be permitted to buy tobacco at all.
