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.

Smokers DO buy into their own insurance pools by paying higher premiums and higher taxes than, just about, any other portion of the American public.

Funny that you should mention homosexuals -- I have noticed a good number of the pro-tobacco crusaders who act just like the gay-agenda folks; they don't want mere tolerance, they demand active approval and endorsement of their lifestyle choices, and they want to silence anyone who talks about the detrimental effects.

I have no objection to the gays sodomizing each other, but I don't want them doing it at the adjacent table at Applebee's.
