I said in my previous post that it would need to be taxed the same way as cigarettes if you are going to smoke it.

Smoking doesn't "need" to be taxed that way either. Governments do it because they can and because its easy to depict smoking as an evil vice.
There is no relation between the amount of tax on a cigarettes and the cost to the health care system. Both are arbitrary numbers.
