I appreciate your concern for my family Grubrunner but since 90% of my family are tobacco users of some type I don't think I have harmed any of them. I have given consideration to quiting smoking and I probably would but not as long as my Government tells me what I can and cannot do and is trying to force Free Americans to do something against their will. Maybe the Government needs to look at some new approaches to helping people want to quit instead of trying to back them into corners and forcing something on them that they feel is taking freedom away from them.
Softy

Health Care Costs of Alcohol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Twenty-five to forty percent of all patients in U.S. general hospital beds (not in maternity or intensive care) are being treated for complications of alcohol-related problems.
Annual health care expenditures for alcohol-related problems amount to $22.5 billion. The total cost of alcohol problems is $175.9 billion a year (compared to $114.2 billion for other drug problems and $137 billion for smoking).
In comparison to moderate and non-drinkers, individuals with a history of heavy drinking have higher health care costs.
Untreated alcohol problems waste an estimated $184.6 billion dollars per year in health care, business and criminal justice costs, and cause more than 100,000 deaths.
Health care costs related to alcohol abuse are not limited to the user. Children of alcoholics who are admitted to the hospital average 62 percent more hospital days and 29 percent longer stays.
Alcohol use by underage drinkers results in $3.7 billion a year in medical care costs due to traffic crashes, violent crime, suicide attempts and other related consequences. The total annual cost of alcohol use by underage youth is $52.8 billion.
Alcohol-related car crashes are the number one killer of teens. Alcohol use is also associated with homicides, suicides, and drownings-the next three leading causes of death among youth.
Alcohol is the drug most frequently used by 12 to 17 year-olds-and the one that causes the most negative health consequences. More than 4 million adolescents under the legal drinking age consume alcohol in any given month.
For an estimate of the costs that alcohol problems may be causing your workplace, and suggestions on what a company can do to identify and treat costly alcohol problems.
I think I'll take my chances with A Smoker and Second Hand Smoker, Before I will a Drunk or DRUG Addict.
The wrestler a short time back didn't KILL his family, because he was Smoking, He was on DRUGS.
The people that are trying to stop SWMOKING are ridding the wrong BANNED WAGON! I guess one day when they have had to much to DRINK, they will wake up if it's not to LATE!
