You missed the entire point.
They ALREADY ARE paying for it.
I havent got the exact figures right in front of me, but IIRC there is some 3 BILLION dollars a year collected by the gov't in the form of taxation on tobacco products.
Why is that? Why shouldnt that money that has been paid by users already...be used on them when needed? Why are they subsidizing other areas of health care with their money and not be allowed to collect when the time comes?
