There was an economic study done between smokers and non-smokers to determine which were larger drains of social spending. The assumption was since smokers would be receiving more medical care due to their unhealthy habit, they would be a larger drain economically. The researchers found that smokers die so quickly that their healthcare costs and pension costs were much lower than non-smokers.
Maybe I should start thanking smokers for their selflessness and sacrifice
