Following up to DDT Filled Mormons

do non smokers not have slow deaths? Don't plenty of smokers have
heart attacks? That's what we should be encouraging, no cost at
all if the ambulance is slow.


Sick smokers require a lot of intensive care. This is very expensive.
Also, as the general condition on smokers bodies is poor, other types
of medical care, such as surgery and childbirth, and far more prone to
problems, thus more costly in terms of time and money.

I could go on, but I think you get the idea.

The allotment holder next door to me was a heavy smoker, he
dropped dead with a heart attack, my mother, a non smoker, had
years and years of low level care from health and social services
plus pension payments before she died. I am not convinced smoking
costs us money.
