Most healthcare expenditures are in the last 3 to 6 months of life. Smokers and overeaters live shorter lives. This can save more than it costs to the health budget. That finding is sufficiently frequent as to put the fiscal case for junk food taxes and sugar taxes on the canvas but still with a chance of getting back up to fight on.
At a minimum, it makes junk food and sugar taxes a legitimate topic for honest disagreement. That is before you consider that people have the right to live their lives according to their own lights and make a few sometimes big mistakes along the way as part of finding their way.

Apartheid South Africa tried to set Peter Tatchell up as a bank robber to smear his anti-apartheid activities – bizarre black propaganda. Arrested 300 times, left brain-damaged from a bashing by Mugabe’s thugs, he is now listed as a national treasure for his relentlessly principled activism.
