Comment on Smoke-Out the Smokers by MSG

Smokers tend to die sooner. This represents a terrific benefit to the solvency of the Social Security system. Also, their early deaths must surely offset at least some of the costs their smoking related ailments impose on the medical system.

If fairness requires that smokers be punished for running up higher medical bills, it also requires that they be rewarded for the benefit their early deaths confer upon the Social Security system. In fairness, I would think, their Social Security pensions should be increased according to the actuarial value of the benefit conferred by their early deaths.

Or, perhaps, the value of the benefit might be brought over to subsidize the health care system, compensating for the problem this post complains of and, in effect, removing the basis of the complaint.
