hahahaha! This is for all the fat people who thought it would be a good idea if insurance companies charged workers who smoke more in premiums.

ROFL!! I love it!

Smoking two or more packs a day can be your undoing just like drinking a 5th of booze a day or eating more than one Big Mac.....all things in moderation. I am amazed at the number of people who think obesity has something to do with being a diabetic......nothing could be further from the truth....obesity is 85% self inflected and may be more. People gain weight because they eat foods that are fatty or have lots of sugar and probably do little exercising. I suffer because I have an awful full time craving for Blue Bells Pralines and Cream….working full time on Will Power. *~* Beware the Insurance companies and lawyer pitfalls....lawsuits are costly to all involved.

Actually I do not know what the percentage of fat vs. skinny people were who supported smoker premiums. But still surely there were fat supporters of it. I don’t mean to be a smarty pants here but what were obese people supposed to do about the smoker fees? What can other people do about these fat fees? Can they be stopped by the average person? I believe most people are so busy trying to hold their own lives together they can hardly stop anything. Just my opinion not worth the internet it is written on.
