nobody wants to BAN smoking...just restrict the places that it can be done and require individual accountability for its negative effects.
I, for one, would not allow smokers to file insurance claims for smoking related illnesses. You smoke...you get emphysema.... you cover the costs of treatment out of pocket. Can't afford it? tough shit.
same thing for head injuries incurred while riding a motorcycle without a helmet.
No if someone wanted to apply the same restrictions on people with AIDS (not filing ins claims) because of risky behavior - libs would go nuts
There have been attempts by the anti smoking Nazis to make it a crime to smoke in your own HOME
