Giant african land snails hate cigarette smoke
At work we have recently acquired some Giant African Land Snails. They’re cool beasties and are actually more interesting than most pets. Stated clearly at the bottom of the user manual that we have it says “Cigarette smoke can seriously damage the health of your pet”. So let that be lesson to you if you’re a smoker and thinking about buying some lovable molluscs. Another reason to quit smoking!
For further information on Giant Land Snails see the How to care for Giant African Land Snails video below:

License to smoke – 10 pound smoking permit
A government health advisory body has come up with a plan for a license required in order to buy tobacco. As anti-smoking as i am this is a show of amazing gall by the governement. Shouldn’t they be called a wealth advisory body instead?
The idea is that in order for already disgruntled smokers to be able to buy tobacco they would need a £10 permit. This increased level of taxation is crazy and there’ll be some serious outcry from the pro-smoking groups. The permit would also require a photo too. It reminds me of photo-fit for jail… maybe that’s the next step!
It’s certainly another sneaky tactic to help smokers with that final urge to quit but is this bureaucracy gone too far?
