So non-smokers will NEVER need breathing treatments and ventilators?

Of course smokers have a lot of health problems, but OVERALL they SAVE money for the healthcare system.

All of the studies seem to think that nonsmokers will NEVER get sick and require long term geriatric care. They WILL.

I said it was a morbid point, but smokers SAVE the system money in the LONG RUN.
