Director’s Blog: H.R. 1256, the Family Smoking and Tobacco Control Act 

Jump to full article: Congressional Budget Office (CBO), 2009-06-12
Author: Douglas W. Elmendorf

Jump to full article »


Quotes from this article:

Counterintuitively, a reduction in smoking might add to the government’s costs in many cases by enabling some people to live longer and to incur health care costs over longer periods. In those cases, government spending for Social Security, Medicare, and other retirement and mandatory spending programs, would increase.
CBO Director Douglas W. Elmendorf, in his blog on the FDA bill.
