We could save £3bn of that per year by withdrawing care for smokers.

All health costs for "self-inflicted" health problems should be charged directly to the patient.
Trim Stab you'll find that most of the people who are being treated for smoking related problems were smokers from way back before it was discovered that it was seriously bad for you. When I were a lad, when I went to the quacks he'd be puffing away merrily while you were in with him, although he would put in the ashtray while he examined you. So don't be so self righteous.
