Surely, your trying to be cute here.......smokers pay MORE then their fair share of medical costs.

Lost productivity? Surely you jest.

Alot less than they are taxing smokers.

The cost of medical care for smokers isn't anything compared to the cost of medical care for overweight people! There are more than twice as many of them in the country and they have many more illness and days off of work.

Also, when there are overweight smoking people, it is the weight causing the problems. No one ever got diabetes from smoking, etc...

Get the facts, read both sides of the story at FACTS

Don't be a sheeple, think for yourself!

Worried about second hand smoke? Then NEVER go near a wood burning stove or traffic exhaust again!!!

Far less than scare-mongering, hyperbolic, hystericial people such as yourself.

It's people like you who caused and cheered on the anti-smoking nazis. Amongst other things, they have cost society:- freedom, sanity, charity, truth, accommodation of others and equality.

And, apart from that, they've cost the smokers of Michigan an extra $965 million p.a. and me two minutes of my life responding to your tripe!
