At first we watched a BBC documentary about the differents type of smoking. The aims of this lecture was not to increase tolerance of non smokers amoungst smokers and vica - versa. But to understand the facination of smoking and to question what makes a smoker so attractive.
We then went through the smoking statistics, apparently there are twelve million smokers in Great Britain and thirteen million ex - smokers. Of which 82% are men this was taken from statistics in 1948 but has now fallen to 28%, 45% are women this was taken from statistics from 1966 this has now fallen to 24%. The highest age range for smokers is the twenty to thirty four age group, this may be due to a higher desposible income or before the smoker starts a family, a mortgage or because they have a tendancy to be reckless .
