Well, Jimnastics, here in my country, Denmark (5,5 million citizens), we have been told nearly the same as you say: quit smoking and we'll save billions in healthcare and you'll expect to live longer...that's true, but what you forget is how much (our) state or goverment earns in taxes on tobacco: It cost 3 billion Kroner (600 million dollars) in healthcare to treat the smokers, but the income in tobacco taxes are 7 billion Kroner (1,5 billion dollars) and last but not the least: if you let the smokers smoke what they want the state will saved an unknown figure because they don't have to pay pension, because the smokers are expected to die 8 years earlier............ It's all about money!
