Cigarettes and large quantities of alcohol have been proven to have an adverse effect on one's health. I can't see them ever been banned outright, but the idea of introducing additional health care user fees for smokers has been floated in the past. Will it ever go anywhere? Who knows. I personally am not against introducing something along those lines for heavy drinkers, smokers, and drug users. If someone is intentionally doing something harmful to their body, why should I have to pay for the extra strain they're going to put on the health care system when the partying catches up to them?
