Since you don't smoke, theoretically you'll live decades longer, draining the system of social security, incurring age related medical expenses, and polluting the environment for 20 years longer than a non-smoker. YOU should pay extra taxes! Think about it.
This is the problem in America whether it's the government, the environment, or numerous other issues -- Fanatics.

I'm doomed to croak of cancer. Virtually everyone on both sides for generations has. Some smoked, some quit and some never did.
Nobody gets out alive.
yeah my aunt a NON SMOKER died of lung cancer, her hubby was and still is a chain smoker, she died of lung cancer from second hand smoke. its a known problem'
your trying to justify your smoking, and frankly I could care less that you smoke!
But I DO OBJECT that my health insurance costs more to cover your stupid habit.
just pay your own way, thru higher taxes and fund a health insurance program for smoking related illnesses.

In the spirit of the season, go to the first one and change the one with the little red mark on it... :-)
