I am not following your statistics. I do not see a clear "cause and effect".

@LynnUK Smoking increases the cost of medical care since it increases the likelihood of emphysema, congestive obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and even lung cancer. This medical care is costly. These diseases are largely incurable meaning that care will be required until the patient dies. Living longer for us relative healthy people means delaying any end-of-life ailments rather than increasing costs since preventive care is relatively inexpensive as medical costs go. If we could discourage known causes of incurable diseases such as cancers all of us could enjoy lower health care costs. I think that way of thinking is the substance of health care providers and governments.

@LynnUK Pop the cork. American tobacco companies have diversified. Growing industries have provided opportunities for such new avenues such as solar energy, communication technologies and medical instrumentation. Our economy is indeed better without tobacco as are the companies that were dependent upon tobacco in the past.
Improvements in healthcare.
@LynnUK good for you about never smoking . I wish I could say the same, I only quit 6 years ago.

lucky some ways really bad luck in others, but not complaining,
Great Job on giving up, I am not knocking smokers or non smokers just suspecting some of Trumps fabled "Fake news" lol
@LynnUK working on the basis that at least 9 out of every 10 things Trump says are either lies or childish gibberish, I'll discount anything he says about the issue . Smoking is a pointless road to ruin, so glad I got out. Night night
