Sorry about the diversion, but I have heard the opposite - that
many diseases caused by smoking are acute and kill the smoker quickly at
a younger age thereby reducing long term health care costs. Which is it?
I have read/heard both as opinion (without evidence). Is there data out
there on this point? I would be very interested in any study(ies) that has
looked at this question if someone could point to it. Thanks.

PS I'm a non-smoker; I'm interested for academic reasons.
