I wonder if, when we get communist health care in this country, if the gubment will just go ahead and ban tobacco altogether? It's a serious drag on the health care system, and once the government death-star takes over health care then smoking related illnesses will be everyone's problem. (well, they already are, but this would just be a more obvious pretext).

Rather than create a poor precedent by which the government tells private businesses in yet another way how they are allowed to run their business, why not just ban tobacco altogether?

I think if we have govt run healthcare then smokers should get no lung-related treatment, drinkers no liver related treatment, etc.

Sure it's stupid, but it's no dumber than govt. run healthcare.
