How much smokeing costs the NSH compared to Drinking??

Ohh and dont forget to add up, on the drinking side. Policing. and the damage caused. oh and street cleaning.

 

[GravyMonster]

£4.79

I added 52p to cover policing.

Am I right? I'll assume I am.

 

[bazaarboy]

what have you been smoking?

The most recent numbers I could find was:

Money obtained from tobacco tax : £10.9 billion (2009/10) £12.1billion (2011-12)
Cost to NHS: £5billion (2009-10)
Cost to employers: £2billion (2009-10)

So, smokers more than pay their way on the NHS.

Smoking gives a net surplus of money via the taxes on tobacco products. Drink, probably the same :/

Haters gonna hate

I doubt either are as damaging as a lack of education.

The tax on tobacco generates more money than the cost to the NHS. I don't know what it is once you factor in smaller pension payouts due to early deaths but also increased welfare costs due to people with dependents dying early.

Alcohol is harder to work out. You can isolate out various liver conditions as being caused by alcohol but a lot of peoples weight problems are compounded due to high calorie alcoholic drinks. There's also the difficult to measure damage of families broken apart by alcoholism and crime caused by it.

I'd make an educated guess that alcohol is a net loss to country financially.

Your use of the English language is really bizarre.

 

[skullblits]

I think drinking cost's Way more than smokers do.

Drinker's cost loads to the police

Should'nt we leave the smokers alone for abit, and ban drinkings adverts and bring out some Silly ainit drinking adverts?

 

[grimm]

If this is what smoking does to people then I think the tax on it needs to be increased

 

[TheVoice]

With a capital R, no less.

 

[Yaayuh!]

OP, you need to go to school.
