This cash incentive to lose weight / stop smoking
Discussion
Heard nothing about it?
But if it is as simple as that, I would question why people had not quit already, and saved £6 a day on fags, and £4 a day on cake/McD's ect.
If there is an underlying cause of the eating, and they can afford to smoke, then a cash incentive is not going to solve it.

What happens when the payments run out then? People will be receiving anti-fatty payments for life just to uphold a healthy lifestyle.
If you need to be paid to stop eating so much s
t or not smoke so much then in my opinion, there is no helping those people. People have been shown what over-eating/living an unhealthy lifestyle and smoking too much can do to you. If that isn't incentive enough to reconsider their lifestyle, the vast majority must be comfortable doing what they're doing.
Oh, and I'm a smoker. I just know when and how to limit myself.

How about saying this:
Lose weight/give up smoking or no more treatment?
see thats the problem with this gubbermint, and the previous one, and its a mind set we have go into, its always the big stick approach, never a carrot.Lose weight/give up smoking or no more treatment?
i don't think payments will work, i think they should get other things, but why always a big stick?

If you have to be bribed, you don't really want it, you're doomed to fail or relapse. Stupid idea.
First thing I thought.
If you have to pay a fatty to get in shape - will fatty-fatty-bum-bum be paying back that incentive money when they go on a 'family fatty bucket' binge!?
Bring back bullying I say!... there was only one token fatty in each class when I was in school.You know where I was when I saw this shock headline? Running that's right running not walking and hanging onto the heart sensor bar on a fking treadmill at a gym at 6.30am this morning.
I hear all this bullst about about people having issues but I've yet to meet someone fat who isn't a crisps and chocolate eating, coca cola drinking, take away ordering sit on their lazy arse fker!!
I hope for one that this doesn't come out of my tax money!!
