Well let's see someone CHOOSE to smoke for 40 years despite knowing the dangers then when they are 65 they get lung cancer and guess who foots the bill for their treatment? ME the taxpayer. So you want to ge rid of "sin taxes" fine. Then if you choose activities and actions you know will lead to disease later YOU foot the bill not everyone else. I have no problem having a person who smokes contributing funds to their eventual medical care.
As far a as drug. Druggies are adrain to society. i've seen fist hand a druggie effect have on thier children they bring into the world. No jail often does no good as I have seen first hand and jails are already crowded. Simple solution build a reservation type area out west where all those that wish to be druggies can go live and go kill themselves slowly and let the rest of society alone.
