Better start threads on social diseases like suicide, alcoholism and smoking too.

Still, population growth is a huge factor behind climate change, so maybe Mother Nature has come up with a way of defending herself.

Well ultimately I do uphold the individual's right to choose what they do with their life, but my dad died aged 65 from smoking so whenever I see an opportunity I urge people to stop and listen to the public health warnings. Worldwide, tobacco use causes more than 7 million deaths a year and the WHO say it's still rising. That's every year, not just something that comes along, peaks and then fades back.

Now that the 'panic' appears to be at it's peak I have succumbed to pressure at home and accepted that maybe it is now time for us all to have our own toothbrushes.

Own toothbrushes!! Soft southern pansy, when I were a lad we had one toothbrush per street AND we could only use it on Sundays AND it had no bristles but if it were good enough for me grandad it were good enough for the fourtean of us in our hovel.
