"Tell a big lie often enough, with enough conviction and the masses are stupid enough to believe it" Joseph Goebbels.
In the case of today's society, a litmus test to see if you are stupid enough to fall for a big lie.
Cigarette smoking has a direct economic cost, and it leads to an increase in health care cost...... True or False
If you say false to the above statement you are correct. If you however say true to the above statement, you are gullible enough to fall for the big lie......
Here is the facts......
1> When dealing with smokers, MOST physicians discriminate against them... The same physician who says to hell with the Hippocratic oath when dealing with a smoker, will NOT discriminate against the OBESE....
2> Smokers have far fewer health care dollars expended on them than non-smokers. Most studies show that over the course of an individuals lifetime 50% of the health care dollars are spent in the last 2 years of life. On average a smoker has 50% of the health care costs than a non-smoker....
3> Smokers generate an enormous amount of tax revenue. Tobacco and alcohol are the only sins that have punitive taxes..
If you think I am pulling your leg with this post?????? Ask yourself a simple question......
Why does the government allow and encourage the provision of tax free tobacco products to Canada's Status Indians???????? Each aboriginal Canadian costs the taxpayer a fortune paying for their corrupt band councils, free university, welfare etc.......
If you can't trim costs with a Maxim gun...... Trim costs with a cigarette......
Today I start day 39 without a cigarette.....
