How does a
morbidly obese person affect you second hand like smokers do?
Higher health care costs?
Ever been stuck in the center seat on an airliner between two fat
****ers ? I would rather they were skinny people, smoking.
I've already been over that. With smokers, you not only get the benefit
of having to pay for their continued healthcare, you also get the
benefit of a high risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, emphysema, etc.
by being forced to inhale their smoke. No other disease or addiction
does that.
-----------------------------------------------
Smokers have been shown to have less of an overall societal cost than non
smokers in some studies. They die earlier with less end of live cost, and
less social security payout. Plus the enormous amount of taxes they have
paid to smoke. Lots more than the health insurance for smokers only would
have cost. Plus look how much money they put in circulation. One of the
reasons Altria has been one of the best investments since 1970.
Then you're not taking into account the toll from second hand smoke.
Where is the proof that people die from second hand smoke.
