this. If any gov't really gave a fuck about the health implications and so called cost of treating smoking, you can bet your left nut they'd make it illegal. As always, it's about the $$$ though, and the revenue (directly through taxation on cigs, and indirectly via taxes on the industry, workers, and the flow of that cash being spent) smoking brings in far outweighs any individual health risks.

And as usual, us cunts fall for the 'we put prices up to discourage smoking' bollocks
