You are forced to pick up the expenses of smokers everyday in insurance payments and healthcare costs.

BS, show the costs. I can show you, state by state, what smokers pay in and it's a lot more than they get paid out.

Smokers should have to buy into their own insurance pools. I would add that practicing homosexuals shoud have to do the same. People who engage in more risky behavior should cause those who engage in less risky behavior to cover the costs associated with their behavior.

I know a non-smoking alcoholic who the taxpayers have been supporting for the last 25 years.

Should we ban alcohol also?
