Simple. Don't smoke. Some people can quit smoking. Some can't. People tend to know when they don't have strong willpower. It is their responsibility to "restrain" themselves. For those of us who smoke (I don't), and who don't want to quit, why should they be punished because some people can't control themselves? As for the healthcare argument - the same could be said about people who overeat, drink too much, bungie jump, etc. As long as we live in a society that helps out with health care, we will ALWAYS have people who are more sick because of their personal actions. You either live with it, or dump free healthcare. You'll never force people to be healthy, it has to be their choice. -RC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
