Answers: Difficult to find a definitive answer I think but the total cost of the NHS is going on for 100 billion pounds a year. The revenue from tobacco is 10 billion a year. I would have thought it unlikely that smoking related virus accounts for 10% of all NHS costs.
Hang on cost of smoking related malady to NHS is 1.75 billion a years, so tax revenue outweighs condition cost by six to one roughly.
the tax on cigarettes keep finances the nhs. The tax I would muse.. but at the end of the daylight smoking is silly... I smoked for 60 years and my health is ruined.
Taxes Excise duty on tobacco products exceeds total NHS expenditure by a extraordinarily big margin.
the excise, recent research has truly show that healthy non smokers cost the NHS more as they live longer and require more condition care and social protection as a result ! I am afraid it is comfortably the cost to the NHS. 50% of all smokers will die as a direct result of their addiction. this does not steal in to information the cost of sick pay, disability take-home pay and the loss of income, from the person who is normally the bread-winner.
