Healthy? You're a burden on the state

I've always instinctively known this, but am glad that there's finally research to prove it. Dutch researchers have proven that healthy people are a greater burden on the state than smokers and the fat. A person of normal weight costs an average £210,000 over their lifetime whereas a smoker costs up to £165,000 and the obese about £187,000 each. So if you're a fat smoker, the government should be paying you to stay that way. It'll be cheaper in the long run!
