still can believe that after a at lest 75 years of medical evidence that people still smoke, well don't come crying to the government for subsided medical treatments later when you have a smoking related disease.

i'm completely aware of the detriment it brings to health. not taking responsibility for what you bring on yourself is something else entirely.
spot on, people should have to pay for their indulgences rather that having healthy people subsidizing their addictions and laziness
you're missing the point. this could be applied to any number of indulgent yet harmful practices people "practice". it isn't about the lack of responsibility for what happens after - that is a completely different subject. for the record, i do not condone causing yourself harm and expecting others to carry the burden.
researchers in Australia have calculated that 8.7 percent of all healthcare spending, or $170 billion a year, is for illness caused by tobacco smoke, and public programs like Medicare and Medicaid paid for most of these costs.
no government health care would solve that problem.
