"If cigarettes were illegal and we know that they cause lung cancer, would you lobby for it to become legal and therefore inflict cancer on its users?"
If Big Macs were illegal and we know that they cause obesity, would you lobby for it to become legal and therefore inflict obesity on its consumers?
yes to both.....why anyone else get to decide what people do with their own bodies. I don't tell you what you can do with yours.
See my previous posts. I agree with you, however given that we're forced into health plans because costs have skyrocketed for even common ailments, these cancers etc effect my pocketbook now.
Thats why government health systems are so insidious, the give the government a good REASON to care about what you eat, smoke and drink.
I'm 26yo, 5;8" 165lbs. I'm sick once every 3 years with a cold, nothing more. When I was unemployed I had to pay 200 a month for medical coverage. That's INSANE. The reason is because I have to support all the obese, cigarette smoking drug abusers that also need coverage.
