Smokers cost out health systems billions of dollars a year. Any law that will promote smoking cessation is a bonus. .

Overheating costs our health system billions of dollars a year too. I would even venture to guess that more people have diabetes and that is a larger drag on the health system than smoking.

Well, you could say that about overweight people or people that don’t exercise or anyone who drives a car. Once you eliminate smokers people will be on to the next group until we are all just eating the same thing and taking no risks.

Data supports the cost related to smoking related illness. Obesity is a close second. It’s not about taking risks. It’s about the cost of that to society.
