"Counselling" for cigarette "addiction" is offensive. Hugely offensive. Calling smokers "addicts" is hugely offensive. Implying that the habit of smoking needs psychological and/or medical treatment is hugely offensive. "

Well if they aren't "addicts" in need of counseling, then nobody will take advantage of the services, and it won't cost Medicare anything.

Right, until benefits are tied to "counselling" for the "addicts." Assure me that won't happen.
