Except they've been paying more taxes than anyone else via the extra taxes placed on cigarettes.

So does a smoker who doesn't develop lung disease or lung cancer get a rebate when they're 80 or 90?

Not to mention that the cost of end-of-life care for a smoker dying of smoking-related illness is generally much LOWER than a non-smoker who gradually dies of old age with all of its associated ailments.
