Cost of Smoking
For health official
A recent HHS report estimates that smokers "cost" society
approximately $52 billion a year in lost productivity and medical
costs.
Two academic studies released over the last few years, one
by Kenneth Warner of Michigan, and another by Willard Manning et
al (in an article published in a recent edition of the Journal of
the American Medical Association), state that smokers in effect
do "pay their own way." That is, for a variety of reasons their
smoking does not "cost" society more than it contributes or
"saves."
A third study, by three economists at the Hoover Institute
at Stanford goes even further. It says that smokers actually
subsidize nonsmokers. And that the current excise tax rates on
tobacco is high enough; in fact it is too high.
Would you explain how these studies and the HHS report could
arrive at completely opposite conclusions?
