Problem is that I get taxed to fund Medicare, Medicaid, etc so that those who choose to smoke can then get treated for bronchitis, lung cancer, MI, TIA, stroke, etc.

And the governments already tax the crap out of smokers to pay for that. In Fact the Congressinal Research Service determined many years ago (before all of the increased cig taxes) that smokers already paid more into the system than they will ever take out of it.

Safety Nazis are not rational people. It's like trying to convince a limousine liberal that welfare causes poverty. They won't believe it no matter what the facts show.
