Would you prefer to be a rich smoker or a poor non-smoker?

• Smoking 'worse for your health than being working class' - Telegraph

Scientists found that rich smokers were more likely to die young than non-smokers from the least affluent backgrounds.

My perception is that a greater proportion from the least affluent backgrounds tend to be smokers than their rich counterparts - probably why they are richer!

Smokers of all social classes were found to be at a higher risk of dying early than non-smokers from the lowest classes, the study, published online in the British Medical Journal, found.

Well, there you are kiddies, smoking is not good for your health!
