This is about the cost of keeping people alive?
are more expensive than those of either fat people or smokers.
The researchers found that from age 20 to 56 obese people racked up the most expensive health costs, but because both the smokers and the obese people died sooner than the healthy group, it cost less to treat them in the long run.
On average, healthy people lived 84 years, smokers lived about 77 years, and obese people lived about 80 years.
Smokers and obese people tended to have more heart disease than the healthy people.
Obese people had the most diabetes, and healthy people had the most strokes.
Ultimately, the thin and healthy group cost the most, about $417,000 from age 20 on.
The cost of care for obese people was $371,000 and for smokers about $326,000.
Yeah, where did that extra cigarette money go?
It never goes.
Yes.
So an economist at the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment in the Netherlands who led the study said lung cancer is a cheap disease to treat because people don't survive very long.

I can't.
I haven't grown up being told lies like this is a real, real hot issue for me.
