It's extremely wrong. People voluntarily ignore diet and exercise warnings resulting in diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc yet they'll single out smoking? Look at the obesity rate. But that's ok. Pop some pills, don't change your habits. There are far more people in that category than in the smoking category.
I disagree. I call it a good start. If one chooses to take on greater risk, they should pay for it. Obesity should be addressed too: sell insurance by the pound...
Agreed, These are (with some exceptions) lifestyle choices and if you choose them you lose the right to complain about your health coverage. My evil twin says let them go on as they are, die early and thus cost us less.
