thing that bugs me about smokers saying "it's my life, i can fuck it up if i want to", is that smoking is known to be a major contributor (i won't get into the debate on whether it's clinically proven or not) to some pretty serious diseases. now, consider that a ton of people who smoke are uninsured, and the fact that they can say "it's my body", etc. i feel, is bullshit. who's gonna pay for your treatment, your end-of-life care, if you're uninsured? the tax-payers. now, if you want to smoke, fine, but if you want to knowingly do that to yourself, you should have to sign a release, stating that you're declining govt medical assistance. when you get sick from smoking, you just have to suffer & die, because it was your choice.
how does that grab yas!?
(yeah, i know it's a crock - i'm just trying to make a point that it doesn't affect only the smoker.)
