Tim No we should not give up. Again this whole discussion was on why the GP's & specialist can't read & undertand & follow rules. If they can't or don't want to, what about the general population. Although smoking etc is decreasing, the crime rate is excalating - often the money is needed to buy drugs. So are we realy winning with all these ads ?
