A better idea may be to tax people by how fat they are. Have weighing equipment at the entrance to public buildings and supermarkets and even as you step onto the bus (you are causing it to use more fuel)

Ridiculous? Coming into the head of a stupid politician near you soon.

When I worked there in the mid 70's they had a smokin ban on site !
Belive me get a large bar or two and mush it up and then wrap your fingers in the and then work it in.
Do that over a few day and see the results.............if that dont work try putting it on a different part of your body and say you have a chocolate coverd treat..................... ::)
