BECKEL: Have you know that there are reports out, one says if you are slightly obese, you live longer.
GUTFELD: Yes.
BECKEL: And number two, I think if you smoke, you actually live longer.
GUTFELD: Yes. Or else, it just seems like it's more fun.
BECKEL: Yes. I mean, why be so bummed out to give up something you like? I don't understand that.
GUTFELD: Good point.
I hate the fact that Andrea -- it's not about the health, that it's your health, they are implying that you are hurting other people's health -- like smoking outside affects people.
TANTAROS: I actually this is beyond the smokers. I mean, the point is real. President Obama came out and he said there's going to have to be a difficult conversation that takes place which means cut and reimbursement to doctors and hospitals. Maybe smokers but also cancer patients, disabled. They are the most expensive.
Smokers are expensive. Long-term care for in these cancer drugs for lung cancer are extremely expensive. Dana points out, you already see that happening in England. But this is the biggest issue, the cost containment.
And even President Obama said maybe my grandmother, maybe she didn't need the hip. He said that about his own grandmother. So, it's a very real -- it's a real concern.
GUTFELD: She was the first under the bus.
BECKEL: That's for sure.
BOLLING: Over the cliff, right?
GUTFELD: Over the cliff, or under the bus.
