Through no fault of their own, the 2nd hand smoker, especially in the days when airlines were allowing smoking, can develop and have been proven to have higher incidence of cancer.The "empirical cost" was not paid at all by the Tobacco companies and in fact, developed propaganda campaigns to mislead the public.After the mounting evidence reached a certain point, taxes on Cigarettes skyrocketed, for at least 2 reasons. 1) to discourage the use of cigarettes so you DON'T have an increase of getting cancer and 2) to help pay for some of the empirical costs associated with the healthcare costs.In the case of Investors following the OP's strategy is one that I have personally seen time and time again.

One missing is Jet Lending's monthly meeting on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Texans Bar & Grill.
