cancer drugs are only available depending on which health authority you live in. some cancer drugs you have to buy privately because of NICE guidelines
is this just?i guess its a matter of cost-if cancer drugs were as cheap as stop smoking tablets everyone would get them
and why shouldnt people be able to get free smoking tablets on the national health- after all its smokers money that have kept it goingHad no idea these new anti smoking tabs were available yet. I must be asleep because last I heard they would be available in a couple of weeks.

Anyway, everything on the NHS is free for me; I-m a pensioner.

Just one small point. Get back to work slave, you and three more like you are paying my pension.nope its bang out of orderI agree I have astma and stuggle to afford to pay for my inhalers, actually I am only using half my prescription as I cant afford to get the rest. its anything up to 18quid!! but a woman I serve in the shop I work in doesnt do a days work and smoked like a trouper can walk into the same surgery and get free patches!!

I dont smoke I gave up cause of my chest, I exercise and try not to vist the doctor unless its necessary.

Wheres the logic!!!
