IMO, yes it should. You fully know what your doing to yourself when you smoke. Your actions shouldn't make another person suffer.

Anyway, lets try to keep this friendly guys, no attacking each other please
Dangerous ground when you start down that road.

If a trapeze artist and a car accident victim are brought it with broken necks and you can only treat one do you treat the car accident victim first because the trapeze artist knew he taking a risk with his life?

We all take risks in life, no one should receive preferential treatment beacause in "someones opinion" their lifestyle brought on the condition.

Who are you, or we, to judge.
