In a purely economical sense fat people are a much bigger drain on the NHS than smokers are, thanks to taxes on cigarettes, smokers pay their own NHS bills around five times over while obese people provide a constant drain.
Surely it would be more economical for the government to ban high cholesterol foods before cigarettes as they are both addictive and kill people in the long run. The biggest killer in the UK is heart disease, not lung cancer.
The moral of this story: If the government start banning substances just because they are bad for you where do they stop?
