Unless you're going to present the socialized medicine argument that "society pays for it."</quote.


But even if that lie is posed as a valid argument, it has been been proven many times over to be false. Cigarette smokers pay an inordinate amount of tax for their habits, and to top it off, they statistically die sooner. Therefore cutting out social security, medicade and medicare etc.

They put MORE into the system than they take out. In my state they pay 1.3Million/DAY in cigarette taxes. (I am an ex-smoker and am sick of the anti-smoking pinheads).
