I understand. But why should those of us that can handle an unhealthy lifestyle and still be healthier and outlive others have to suffer through all these anti-smoking taxes etc.. It's not our fault that others are born with weak immune systems from families that pass on their weak genes.
Of course the above is mostly a parody but I am concerned about a government that is hell bent on taxing lifestyle choices. What's next, taxing people who don't get enough sleep or people who don't get enough exercise or eat the proper government diet or reproduce even though they have inferior genes?
