    How ridiculous, can you prove the cause of every need for medical treatment, why doesn't the government ban cigarettes then, you can't have your cake and eat it too!

    • read properly 'smoke related'
      we all know smoking kills .
      so you want the pleasure to smoke and pay for it
      pay also for the medical bill that will soon come your way

    • I get it, should we just charge everyone for any medical bills when they have some level of responsibility, how about sports people who get injurys? We are living in a society here i and let me assure you that i put more into the health system than i will ever need back, i want to look after the sick so our society can progress, get a clue, this is the real world, you just can't wave your magic wand and decide who is evil and deny them medical treatment, which is what you would ultimately be doing.

    • i agree we should to some extent be responsible for our acts .
      we cannot expect the whole country to pay for our excesses.
      but we can live with some all in the basket attitude but we should be responsible too . i hope for you that you continue put more in than you get out that shows your are in good health and that has no price , same for all of the others too.

    • If you want to make people responsible in this way then surely smoking must be banned, but the governments just love those taxes don't they, also it would just become a massive black market. It would be extremely difficult to monitor the system. It would be great if we all lived responsible productive lifestyles but we are human.

    • i agree not an easy problem but
      we are moving towards a better understanding
      and smoke in public is banned now
      so it is better

    • Yes i think it is wrong to inflict someone else with cigarette smoke, especially kids, laws have just been passed here to ban smoking in cars with children.

    • That is true, but unfortunately we have to be legislated to the hilter because of ignorant people.
