Not really.
My basic stance is that anyone on the dole should only really have food/transport stamps, rent, and a provision - perhaps stamps as well - for their children's needs.

Luxuries such as fags, booze, holidays should not come into the equation at all, so if they can afford them, then it had better be Christmas, or that they're celebrating having got a job.
