Over here cigarette smokers are heroes, they pay taxes for the NHS and don't hang around long enough to collect their pensions. Last time I checked it was calculated that smoking diseases accounted for around £2 billion per year whilst taxes on tobacco pulls in around £9 billion.

If you account for the heart disease that smoking contributes too it is the biggest killer of humans by far
Why should people that eat cheeseburgers? That's not healthy. Why should people that drink alcohol get health insurance? That's not healthy either.
In fact, why should people that don't exercise the daily alloted amount receiver health insurance?
Pretty soon the government might give taxbreaks for those that exercise properly, or keep their weight under a certain limit. Government controlled healthcare leads to control over peoples lives in many different ways. It will lead to telling you what to eat, what to do with your free time, what drugs you should or shouldn't consume. Slaves, sheep, and takers love this because they are animals. They love being caged up and taken care of. Free people should be very alarmed.

That's why the government should be out of it. As long as the government is involved, we don't have insurance under the concept of what insurance actually is. With true insurance, the insurer looks at the risk and determines whether or not to take it on. When the government mandates it and provides subsidies funded from other forced to fund them, we have socialism.

Oh, hi
Don't smokers pay more for insurance?
They should when it comes to health insurance. They are a greater risk for serious health problems. It's that way for life insurance. When it comes to auto insurance, those in a group that have shown to be a higher driving risk pay higher premiums.
Not under Obamacare, if they paid for a lung transplant they could not afford insurance
Exactly my point, the money that is collected in taxes pays for everything except the destruction that tobacco causes

If we cut these dumb asswipes off the insurance roles, prices would drop pronto.
Do you drive a car? Do you eat fast food? Do you work out regularly? Do you fuck chicks without a rubber...ever?
You shouldn't throw stones.
Now a new study has found that obesity is responsible for shortening the lifespan of humans more than smoking.
A team of researchers from Cleveland Clinic and New York University School of Medicine found that obesity and poor nutrition led to “as much as 47 percent more life-years lost than tobacco,” noted Science Daily

More exercise is not cutting into the nation’s high obesity levels, and unwise diets are killing more people than about anything else—including smoking, drinking and drug use. Those are among the findings of a new study by the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington.

My dad made it into his 80's as a smoker. Genes have a lot to do with it.

Why do you think there's a box for smokers to check?
[h=2]How Much Does Health Insurance Cost?[/h]Premiums may vary depending on the provider and plan you choose. Each state can set the criteria for what insurers can base premiums on. For example, depending on the state you live in, you may be charged a higher premium based on your age, tobacco use, rating area or some other factor. It is crucial to compare different health insurance from top insurance companies and find best plan for you.
