Smokers are one of the few groups the politically correct crowd deems fair game for demonization, ostensibly because their increased health care costs are passed on to the rest of us. Another study showed elderly smokers cost the government less than non-smokers because they die younger.
I think booze causes other people more damage than smokers cause non smokers. Driving drunks kill other people.

You sure have that right:
"Another study showed elderly smokers cost the government less than non-smokers because they die younger.
I think booze causes other people more damage than smokers cause non smokers. Driving drunks kill other people."
And those other people are innocent victims.
