should us smokers really be taxed so much
Discussion
Right,
I'm not wanting this to turn into a b
h match just a genuine interest in people's views.
Now I am a smoker yes I know I should give up etc but let's try and keep that out of the argument.
A pack of 20 fags is now 9 quid. Is this really fair?
Que the usiual nhs arguments etc.
I'm honestly not so sure smokers die younger so in theory cost less in pension and care, I have lost several colleagues of late due to cancer yet non where smokers.
A report recently said cancer seems to be more to luck and genetics etc.
As I say I am not defending smoking or saying it does not have health issues.
I'm just saying is it a fair tax, or just an easy one as all none smokers think it's ok and use health care as main back up for this then a lot drink which is socially more acceptable, although in my eyes a match worse drug
