By the way a 2 pack a day smoker paying $2.75 a pack in taxes for 30 years is $60,000. Show me anywhere today you can get treated for lung cancer for under $60,000? In my book smokers are still getting off light.

I have my own Health Insurance and pay my own bills........ Sure there people uninsured and the burden falls on all of us.... but why isolate it to smoking deseases? Your argument just implies "smokers" what about alcoholics? Drug addicts? What about the person who has a rare deseases or whatever and is in the hospital and racks up huge bills paid fr by medicare or medicaid and such? We all pay into those "systems" hyou can isolate "smokers" as the sole cause of taking all the funds or whatever
