Anyone here still trying to deny cigarettes don't have health consequences isn't worth talking too. Even the cigarete makers agree cihgarettes are bad for you.
games dont cause cancer, they cause bloodlust and WAR!!!!

what im basicly saying is once you give the government an inch and they take a mile. its cigs today. tommorrow its something else they've decided (or can convince you) is bad or costly to the government. if cigs are as bad for all as you think, why not just outlaw them? that'd eliminate the healthcare costs completely. they wont do that though because the tax rev is too great on taxing things many rely on daily.
