Stop the top smoking nonsense, in the name of ecomics anyways

“A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want." MF
      In a paper published in the Public Library of Science Medicine journal, Dutch researchers found that the health costs of thin and healthy people in adulthood are MORE expensive than those of either fat people or smokers. Because both the smokers and the obese people died sooner than the healthy group, it cost less to treat them in the long run.
