Smoking p*sses you off? Don't smoke. Don't go where you know people will be smoking.

I should have to watch where I go to accomodate to smokers? That's crap. Why should I have to take in second hand at the bar because it's overly friendly to smokers. I enjoy going to many places where smoking is allowed.
The smokers there are killing both themselves and me, and I'm the one who should have to change my lifestyle?

You don't want to pay the healthcare costs for smokers? Maybe Joe Blow doesn't want to pay for the guy who broke his leg playing shinny because hey, it's his fault and he willingly played shinny. Maybe Joe's wife doesn't want to pay for little Sally's asthma treatments because Sally's dad drives a Hummer to work everyday. Maybe RougeUnderoos doesn't want to pay the medical bills for some teenager who drove his Cavalier into a fire hydrant. Maybe Bob Lunchpail doesn't want to pay for Shirley Secretary's Carpal-Tunnal treatment because she spent her days gabbing on Messenger.
We either have universal medical care or we don't. Which way do you want it?

Did you read my post, or just hit reply?
As I stated already, I wrote that health care ommision bit out of frustration and don't actually want it happen.
YES, I want universal health care.
And once again you have drawn up a number of examples of
accidents, which do not equate to intentionally hurting yourself (and others) by smoking.
Shinny, driving, and typing are not deadly by design, but only in excess or by chance.
Can you give an example of a single other activity, which is damaging in all forms?
