OPINION: In chess, the endgame begins when most pieces have been taken off the board. With just a handful left, options narrow and moves become more decisive.
So it is with smoking. Public-health types use the phrase “tobacco endgame” to mean a happy situation where the proportion of people who smoke has fallen below 5 per cent.

- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
Smoking is a disgusting habbit yes I agree, and I use to smoke but gave up back in 1996, I I will not stop anyone having that freedom to do so if they so choose. At the age of 18 you can legally vote, you can legally have sex, have a baby, legally get married, you can go off and fight or defend this country if need be... So you have our damn cig so you have those freedoms... I did not serve in the Royal New Zealand Navy to have those freedoms taken away.
What are these freedoms I am talking about;- Freedom to practice any religion without being prosecuted.
- The freedom to align to any sexual orientation you wish.
- The freedom for you to choose what you do with your body and your life.
No one has the right to say you can not do something if that activity does no harm to others or do they have the right to say what you can and can not do to your body. So if you want a disgusting cigarette who am I to stop you and who are they to stop you. Freedom of Choice.

Experts fear with the UK suffering "two epidemics on top of each other", there's an increased likelihood Omicron and Delta could swap genes, making them potentially even more dangerous.
The UK is experiencing its biggest wave of the pandemic yet. While the number of Brits infected with the Delta variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is stable, the highly infectious Omicron variant is spreading rapidly. Data suggests it's already dominant in London, and could see hundreds of thousands testing positive a day as soon as Christmas.
