Get fucked cunt.

I don't drink or smoke(used to though). There are a heck of a lot of people who have smoked and drank their entire life and have lived a long time with zero issues. Every body is different. My dad smoked/drank forever and died never taking a single rx and living very healthy right to the end

Son, taking smokers as our reference point, they pay more via taxes on tobacco for health care quite simply because they tend to use more health care:

"Smokers are likely to cause a greater burden on the public health system than non-smokers and as such, under the benefit principle, should pay for this through the instrument of tobacco taxation." ([Australian] Department of the Treasury)

Now all that is a different issue to mine which is that smokers, despite paying more into the health care system via taxes, should go to the back of the hospital queue. And I say this because it would seem tobacco taxes don't cover smokers' health care costs. In 2022–23 Australia collected $12.7 billion in duty on tobacco. In 2015–16, tobacco smoking cost Australian society $19.2 billion in tangible costs like healthcare. This latter figure would probably be higher now due to increases in health care costs but it's possible the number of smokers has declined and so to has the health care costs they generated. Even if smokers as a section of society paid their way in the health care system due to the tax on tobacco, I'd still maintain they should go to the back of the hospital queue (if such a thing was possible) because health care is a scarce resource and non-smokers should not be required to wait for a hospital bed or other hospital treatment on account of a smoker being a person who has deliberately engaged in an act harmful to the person's health. Hospital is not for idiots.

Thanks, bro, I appreciate you appreciating my sentiment.

Hi dassar. Glad you called. I'm in Australia's Capital by myself and it's a bit lonely. Whatcha been doin'?
