I believe that smokers should pay for the increased cost of their healthcare- and they do.
The vast majority of the costs of a packet of cigarettes is made up of tax.
Of this tax, 20% is equivalent to the extra costs of treating smoking related illnesses.
The other 80% is pure profit for the Government to spend as it chooses.
If this is the way we are going though, why not charge those injured whilst playing sport, running or getting drunk etc?
