Thanks for getting my point...

No, concessions should be made by the airlines not to try and pack people in like veal crates and allow enough room for people to sit.

As far as smoking goes on planes, it was because smokers killed a number of people through their dirty habit that smoking was banned on planes.

Was it Manchester airport?

First time it was proved that smokers kill others than themselves even though it has long been suspected.

As a smoker and I freely admit that my habit should not be tolerated on public transport, because it causes a health hazard to others. I also pay a tax justified to compensate the NHS. It may be harsh to compare an obese person to a smoker, but their condition is 9 times out of ten a self inflicted ailment.

May be the government should consider adding higher tax band onto the obese, as is charged to smokers …

Airline tickets, trains, clothing above a certain size, double gusset trousers, male bras. .....
