No. Not if I have to pay for your heart-lung machine, or your chemotherapy or your tracheotomy. Your addiction hurts all of us.

Ah yes, the glorious socialist argument inevitably rears its ugly head.

That it produces creatures such as you should be argument enough against it.

(Kids, don't let this happen to you.)

You're calling me a socialist? LMAO. Smokers receive health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. That costs all tax payers. If you want to tell me that recognizing that is socialism, you're a nut. Meanwhile, turn off your heart-lung machine please.

It's a bad argument to begin with becuase the taxes and money the govt's got from the tobacco settlement way more than cover any smoking-related-illnes costs borne by th public. Please don't let the idiots wrap you up in their incorrect statements.
