How many tobacco smokers are getting cigarettes at taxpayers'expense? And how many people am I buying drinks for? Please either post or tell me where to find the stats on this. I had not been aware of it.
For example, people who smoke tend to have more colds, that last longer forcing them to call in sick more. They also are costing us lost productivity by taking smoking breaks very often to feed their habits.
I am not an anti smoking nut, and think people should smoke if they want to, but let's not pretend that nicotine and alcohol don't cost a ton of money in health, insurance and productivity costs.
