      I think you missed something. Banning cigarettes takes money away from healthcare, it doesn’t put more into it.

      Smokers wind up paying almost 10x what they cost the system over their lives. Banning that income will only make things worse.

          Except they also have to step on your rights, and body autonomy in order to do so.

          Let me aak you this as well… Do you support the war on drugs?

              Whether or not they have the right, was never the argument here, it’s always been about whether they should or not.

              Dodging my question because it backs you into a corner really doesn’t help your side either.
