How about you stop looking at it as a health issue and start looking it as a freedom issue.

Do you agree with the government being able to put you in jail because of a choice you made that had no impact on anyone else but yourself?

Not only that, but they are not seeing any revenue from current users to pay for the claimed medical impact that they put on the health care system from smoking so does it make more sense to to spend money on locking these people up and treating them without recouping any costs, or does it make more sense to stop spending money on locking people up and start generating revenue from their habit to pay for their eventual medical needs?
