Big savings on their pensions. And they will only die of something else expensive later in life. -

Smokers don't live long once they get lung cancer, the prognosis is usually poor. But it's true that hundreds of thousands can be spent in a year or two on someone who is going to die anyway.Originally posted by Eirikur View PostAnd their lung cancer treatment, gets paid by the tax payer as well
I've made sure my private insurance pays for that, although it's a bit useless.Hard Brexit now!

And of course the other bit of good news is the trailer load of cash I've saved since giving up the filthy habit. All goes of course towards luxury holidays with my loved ones so they'll have lots of good memories when I pop off early.Originally posted by sasguru View PostDon't be too smug. I'm an ex smoker too but it's a myth that your risk of lung cancer falls. It remains elevated forever. Basically smoking is like a death escalator, the point at which you get off, your risk remains at that point. It doesn't decline.
The good news is that your cardiovascular risk does decline.Comment

All ex-smokers are smug, having tried to quit a few times I can fully understand why you feel smug, and you have certainly earned the right to be smug. Well done. You'll almost certainly realise why I reserve the right to despise smug ex-smokers though.Originally posted by Elliegirl View PostGreat idea. Why do people still smoke in this day and age anyway? (says this smug ex-smoker)

Mate. Give it up and come join me on my luxury yacht the smug-gler (see what I did there) as we laugh at those sad saps who still think it makes sense to hand over stupid amounts of money for the chance to coat their lungs in carcinogenic gunge in the name of 'freedom'. And say goodbye to fag breath!!!Originally posted by Mordac View PostAll ex-smokers are smug, having tried to quit a few times I can fully understand why you feel smug, and you have certainly earned the right to be smug.
