hi bham
You forget just one thing it is the social insured costs all extremely expensive end of life (in all countries).
That smoking greatly reduces life expectancy.
That smokers contribute much more than nonsmokers.
They pay more he receives less; it is therefore all our dear nonsmokers who will have to close the hole when all the ayatholas of the prohibited whole will have suppressed the smokers.
Go spend a few days in Hong Kong and tell me if you want your country to become the same.
smokers respect the non-smoker.
no smokers stop gorging us with your drunkenness laws

There is some truth in that, first I never smoked, but those who smoke do not bother me, I just find that (a Mr. X) who smoked a pipe, rinsed with wiski strong and he to work in a steel mill up to 65 years, he died at 95 years, (his little girl) who did not smoke ate organic, no cell or microwave, (apparently it gives cancer) Sports ect .. is died of cancer at 44ans.
I think it makes us feel guilty with the cigarette, it allows them to poison us otherwise without our knowledge, yet it smoked a lot at the beginning of the century and despite the decrease in smoking, cancer mortality will be 1 on 2 in a near future. (there must be something other than the cigarette)
It is not by laws that we regulate the problem, the government is the first responsible it is he who controls the cigarette market in the shops, and he gives it to young soldiers. If the cigarette is a drug that makes it illegal, it is funny the tobacco (pot) Indian, him it is illegal is it only because it does not perceive tax? or is it really more nefast for health?
When I see in a steel mill, a welder who works in dust and welding fume, get disciplined because the law forbids them to fummer at work. , in an office in a canteen I still understand, but the guy who pours molten steel, make him a chiare because he smokes, the it exceeds me .. In a foundry, I can quote (foundry Laperle division from BYBBY of the American exploiters) he fired a smoking employee, a flowing factory of cast iron (manhole holes!)
There is still some truth in ZAC's assertion that longevity of life bothers business people and the social system. ideal for them, should not be educated too long maximun 20ans, work, report them, pay taxes and when one becomes less efficient productive month is 60ans, one should die, Big companies are like breeders chickens, everything is accounted for.
Lastly MITTAL does not hire young employees, it hires employees who have 50ans, why .. this way they are certain that these employees will never be able to retire before 65 years and will not be eligible for early retirement (In Canada it is necessary to do 30 consecutive years in the same factory to be entitled to a pre-retirement and not all industries). the average mortality is 72,5 years for men in the region where I am, these figures are exact calculate, I compile all the deaths on 44000 inhabitants, politicians have beautiful tell us that the life expectancy is over 80 years , that's good for the image (O Canada), but the current statistics of deaths mean something! Make the compilation for a month in your city and you will be surprised of the averages ..
One of the big problems of society is that a society works well if we are in a pyramid, many young people who work and the old ones on the tip, but if we overthrow the pyramid, it does not work anymore. Many think that it is the money that has contributed who pays their retirement .. yes a part, it is those who are currently working who bear the social burdens. Medically, a citizen is counted according to its duration of life, an artificial hip, an operation of heart, all the operations that require a replacement to 10 years are evaluated according to the person, they make a sort like the big ones wounded in time of war, it does with more civism ...
