looking at budgetary requirements
we should factor in real*numbers like that..""
lol
see previous speaker
""I got the Parliamentary Library
to conduct some research for me""
who vets the raw research?
can re-search be submitted by lobby?
who fact checks?
""like to thank Dr Sang Giang Phan,
What he was particularly concerned about
was that we should be doing more..to encourage people to kick the habit
*by using the Pharmaceutical_Benefits/Scheme""
the seed
was planted
""we are talking about an addiction,
and kicking an addiction is difficult.""
""and,certainly,people who are addicted
to smoking..know that it is not a matter of choice..for them.""
AND NOW THEY GET THEIR SUBSIDISED ADDICTION
payed for by..*the PBS...
[and who gets the subsidy?]
BIG PHARMA...lol
recall the admission
that tassie..has higher_average..smoking-rate
check this
""The University/of Adelaide
conducted various research studies into smoking.
The important part..that they determined
that, in the Fairfield LGA, 26.1 per percent of males are current smokers and,in Liverpool, at the other end of my electorate, it is 24.5 per cent...""
""Those figures are still well above the national average""lol
NOTE>>>""..of 22 per cent of the community being smokers.
Further, from the university’s figures, 26 per cent of females in the Fairfield LGA and 24½ per cent of females in Liverpool are smokers.""
again picking on the poor
but look at..*the HIGHER numbers
a bit higher than..15% or even 16.6..percent?
numbers spin
[from parlement libary?]
aint it all..just too neat?
""The thing that underlines all this
is that I know that,..of all the deaths of smokers that occur—""
WATCHING?..!
..""whether it is a car-accident,
a heart-attack..or any other tragedy—
50 per cent.....LOL...are* tobacco *related.*""
""I know the changes that are proposed
in the bill..may not be popular with everybody""
but who cares
they dont got..an anti-smoking lobby
on their door..everyday..!
alp
Laura Smyth
""We have heard the Cancer Council’s *..*estimates*
that smoking claims the lives of 15,000
or more Australians every year
and costs our economy around $31.5 billion.""
there you go folks
ESTIMATES*...!
ON SOCIAL COSTS..*
