Doesn't make up for the cost to my health! Or yours for that matter.

The tax you pay on cigarettes is entirely voluntary and if you don't want to pay it there is a simple solution. The fact that you choose to spend ridiculous amounts of money on cigarettes does not, in my opinion, give you the right to smoke away in front of my nose. As I say this is just my opinion though.
