"You are missing my point - smoke all you want, just don't expect me to pay for it (through taxes)"
Your argument is inconsistant. Since you seem to be so hung up on taxes, would you be in favor of government intervention on;
hot coffee, fast food, weapons, motorcycle helmuts, car seatbelts, swimming pools, knives, hammers, or any number of
items one could list that could protect the general public from harm?
It is you who is being incosistent, I am consistent.
I don't want the government to interfere with fast foods, etc. Like I said, you are responsible for your actions - don't expect me to pay for your healthcare if you screw your health up.
