Great Britain's Royal College of Physicians asked that the cost of cigarettes in that country be doubled in an effort to get people to quit. This move is in response to a report that over a third of children treated for chest conditions at a top hospital were made ill by their parents' smoking habit. Liverpool's Alder Hey Hospital said they treated 2,000 children as a result of smoking-related diseases and their bronchitis, asthma, and ear infections could be avoided if their parents stopped smoking.
