If you want to smoke, fine, but it will cost you more in terms of life insurance. Etc. Quit whining; this is not “The Nanny state,” it is a free market solution.

I agree. Let's make a deal.

Abolish Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP. All insurance will be private (paid for with a standard Gubmint voucher). Companies can charge what they want in a free market based on anything. But in return ....

All coercive Gubmint measures....smoking bans, cigarette taxes, trans fat bans, menu labeling laws, fast food zoning laws are immediately repealed?

Deal?

OK!

All insurance will be private (paid for with a standard Gubmint voucher).

Fixed it.

Now, throw in the elimination of all tax deductions and credits for health insurance, and you have a deal! :-)
