    Smoking costs the UK a significant amount of money annually. The direct medical costs of smoking-related illnesses like lung cancer and heart disease are estimated between 12 to 35 million pounds per year. Additionally, smoking results in 27 to 61 billion pounds lost each year to sick days, lost wages while sick, and lost work productivity. For a family of four, stopping smoking could yield up to 1,640 additional pounds annually. While the financial costs are substantial, the passage argues that the true value of a non-smoking society is the improved health of its citizens.

    PASSAGE 1

    The diseases connected to smoking are a big problem. Doctors think that the annual medical cost for lung
    cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses connected to smoking is between 12 and 35 million pounds
    And smoking costs society money in other ways. Between 27 and 61 billion pounds are spent each year
    on sick days when people don't go to work, on wages that you don't get when you don't go to work, and
    on work lost at the company when you are sick.
    This money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and stop paying taxes. This
    doesn't count fire started by cigarettes, which kill fifteen hundred people yearly and injure another four
    thousand. Smoking costs every man, woman and child in the UK from one hundred and ten to two
    hundred and fifty pounds each year in the lost work and wages. When you add another fifty to one
    hundred and fifty pounds yearly in insurance cost, that comes to one hundred and sixty to four hundred
    and ten pounds. If everyone stopped smoking, a family of four could have up to one thousand six hundred
    and forty pounds a year more.
    Smoking will also cause other problems. People who don't smoke will live longer, and so they will take
    money from the government when they are old. But they will also work for more years and pay more
    taxes.
    In the end, the value of a non-smoking nation is not in pounds. The good health of the people is the true
    value of us alls
