For Social Security at least yeah... most smokers never lived long enough to be a bad burden on society in later years. Smokers were the best thing to have around. They paid but never drew out the max funds.
I don’t have any statistics to go by but I bet there has always been senior citizens around. Smokers or not. I don’t believe smokers die younger than anyone else.
“-—————most smokers never lived long enough to be a bad burden on society in later years. “
