There is 16Bn a year in tobacco duty so el gordo is happy.
And according to NHS figures 'smoking related diseases' cost them 1.5Bn.
And of course there's a good chance smokers don't live so long as non
smokers so cost the country less in their retirement. Caring for the very
elderly with dementia etc is a very expensive business.
Yet another example of dribble not understanding the most basic of
economics.
