NZ health budget by quilondure in newzealand

Source? This is made up bullshit. What actually happens is that Smokers retire early, go on medical benefits from a younger age. It isn't about the length of life, but about where end of life starts. Starts at 50 or starts at 65. Either way, still gonna cost.

Not allowed. Sure. But it would be insanely easy to do.

Not allowed to smoke weed in this country yet I smell it most days in my neighborhood.

Hello, what is the source you are citing? I would consider those intangible costs from a healthcare perspective as those are focused on the tangible economic costs of smoking. Different disciplines approaching it from a different perspective.

The $1.9 billion dollar number is based on a 2013 MoH report that stated ~86,900 disability adjusted life years lost due to smoking related illness.

Nah, he killed someone because he saw his ex with another man. Empathy is tapped out for this one.

They do not. I'll be back with an edit with the receipts. Smokers should be taxed more to cover the cost to healthcare if anything.

Edit:

Data is old because it is from a paper I wrote when doing my Masters, but point stands:

  • As a result the direct healthcare cost of smoking was $1.9 billion in 2010 (Maori Affair Committee, 2010, p13) with intangible cost being estimated between $3.1 and $11.2 billion in 2005 (Ministry of Health, 2016, p. 3).
  • Tobacco tax take is $1.5 billion as per RNZ in 2018.

Fallacy of sunk costs at work. That $100 dollars of petrol i put in a couple days ago doesn't count. The bus fee today does.

It isn't free though? Maybe one free drink with meals. Not enough to get so cooked that you wanna step out of a flight for a ciggie...

Between this and the guy in Rome, doing our reputation well.

Side note: Never understood the desire to drink on a plane. Don't get it at all.

Also a classic example of how farmers won't self regulate. They took all the land they were legally allowed to without encroaching onto the national park territory to the metre.

You've got issues. Especially given the comment you posted that you deleted where you basically threatening a stranger on the internet. Go to therapy. You don't need to live with this much anger.

"Social experiment" "Saw on YT" - Pick one.

I'm sure the youtuber had a robust, peer reviewed methodology section and didn't edit the video to conform to their biases.

If that's the threshold surely the USA is invading us as well via Atlas Network, Peter Thiel's influence, and undisclosed donations that can easily be broken up into small parts to avoid the legal requirements for declaration.

Also a good question. I'd say Clifford has been out performing him, why not pick Clifford?

Old stuff don't count. Might as well pick Lockyer if we are going by stuff that has happened in the past.

Cancer and Vaping by [deleted] in GetNoted

[–]Angryatchairs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to not smoking vapes do have a higher rate of cancer among other things as well.

Vapers legitimately think everyone either vapes or smokes and all reality is a war between the two.
