No, not really interested in that either. Though why its advocates think that it represents value for money escapes me. The tax I pay on fags more than covers any additional health costs. Besides, if I were to live an extra ten years, the public purse would have to bear the extra cost of my pension, my bus-pass, my winter fuel allowance, etc. And, while I might avoid lung cancer, I would no doubt find some other disease to die of, one which was equally injurious to the pocket of my local health board.
My public duty is to keep on puffing, ensuring my early death. You'll miss me when I'm gone.
