Let's make those fat people pay

"It’s alarming to note that excess weight now costs us even more lives than smoking."
If we can make smokers pay more for insurance, then fat people should pay even more.
And the tax on food should be 10x higher.
Fair is fair.

Partly because less people smoke, and those who give it up tend to put on weight.
Food fills the empty, depressing void left behind by cigarettes. Or so I've heard.

Time to start smoking again.

Mrs. Phibes promised me 25 years ago that if I still wanted to smoke when I turned 65, then I could start again. Not long left!

You won't be able to afford it.

I was paying $4.00 Cdn a pack in 2000. They're only $8.00 now. I'm actually going to be saving money!
They currently cost $18.00 in the UK.

Someone told me a 25 pack of cigarettes here now costs over $20. A 20 pack I guess would be around $17.
Don’t know anyone who smokes any more. It’s become a very rare exception even to see a smoker.

There's a small group of them in our office.
At the risk of sounding like a zealot, you can actually tell who they are even without smelling them.

When I started, i could go to the student union at school, put a dime and a quarter into the machine, pull the handle and get a pack of Marlboros.
That would be $2.25 today.

When I went into private practice in a more blue-collar-ish community, I could walk into a room and also tell.

Skinny legs, dry skin, a bit twitchy.
Actually, that might be the crackheads.
Funnily enough, I once commented to one of our admins that one of the senior managers looked like a smoker, but I'd never seen him with one. She gave me an awkward look and said she didn't want to say anything. I later learned that he smoked voluminous quantities of weed after hours.
