    You're wrong there. Smokers pay way more into the health system than they take out. Out of the $11.00 you pay for a packet of Dunhill Red (what I used to smoke) you pay $6.00 in tax. Without smokers tax money...the health system would collapse. That's exactly why the don't just ban smoking...they'd rather just tax the fuck out of you and let you die slowly!!

    Anyone just see the item on TV1 news regarding "knobs who don't know how to use a knife" taking up valuable medical resources and hospital staff through their stupidity?

    Who'd like to guess how many of them will be claiming ACC for their surgery and rehab?

    Shits.

    The liquor industry wouldn't want it any other way. They are some of the richest people in this country. The general public are just sheep doing what they are programmed to do.

    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    No. Less tax to put into the health system = way less beds. If you want to tax the people that cost the health system the most...tax the obese. Heart disese...diabetes..hip and/or knee replacements...strokes. Get on the scales at the supermarket and pay up.

    But no smokers = less heart disease etc = less tax so balances out...less beds not a problem if they need less beds for smoking related hospitilisation..Smokers probably represent 28% care requirements coupled with Obesity at around 38% (some of which will be smoking related) so maybe a "Yes"...just a thought

    Maybe...but smokers pay how much extra tax as compared to obese people?
