You know, my theory is that the calculations on how much smokers "cost" because of medical procedures are very overblown. Where is the evidence that most smokers don't have private health insurance?

If anything, smokers, who supposedly die at a younger age, cost the government less: less in social security payouts.

Or so it would seem.
