You are forced to pick up the expenses of smokers everyday in insurance payments and healthcare costs.

It has been shown repeatedly that smokers at not a drain on these as their premiums are higher, they die earlier, and they do not live long enough to collect SS and other payments and entitlements.

You should have said SOME smokers die early. As usual the facts are being tweaked to prove a point.

I'm 71. Enough said.
