Not to heavy smokers.

People spend less money on childbirth. I believe a child is more useful than
a car, a plane, or a cigarette.

Useful? I suppose if there are no child labor laws.

But value is personal. And spending priorities even moreso. What you or I
think about how someone else should spend their money is irrelevant.

The problem is that people who don't share your preferences may find
them unacceptable or excessive. So it might not be a good idea to
advertise them.
