“The median household income for a smoker in 2011 was $27,700 compared to $45,761 for nonsmokers, according to Reynolds American.”

That’s fascinating.

What causes such a disparity in income?

HOUSEHOLD income. Smokers more likely to be single?

Really?

If you look at lottery players - you’ll see the same demographics. The lottery is a tax on stupid people. And stupid people are - well - too stupid to earn more.

Same with smokers. They are stupid. I’ll defend their right to smoke and object to stupid higher taxes. But thats about it.

Smoking IS stupid. And stupid people earn less.
