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

That's like a two for one for the environment.
He’s got a point
Not fast enough to reduce the damage to the environment.
Thats why we should implement active methods of doing this
