I understand that smoking has a large impact on health care in this country which in turn elevates the premiums of everyone - smokers and non smokers alike.
Same can be said for the obesity problem in this country (in fact it is quickly replacing smoking as the #1 cause of preventable health ailments)....so I think its only fair to impose additional taxes on them as well.
