Many studies actually point that smokers might be cheaper to the healthcare system (dying earlier = less time on healthcare and avoinding late care costs, which are the most expensive)
Looks like this country may drift towards universal healthcare. The idea that regular smokers would be able to partake is incomprehensible to me. I wouldnt give smokers free healthcare at $30/pack in sin taxes - just too costly to treat lung cancer.

Interesting, did not know that. If they die earlier they also pay fewer taxes no?
