Seems to me we need more ways for people to die than to live. Sucks when it is you or a loved one, but true nonetheless imo.

But dead folks don't pay as much in taxes. They do occasionally vote, but you can't rely on it all the time. So, I guess save the smokers from themselves is going to be another stroke of political genius for the power hungry.

Perhaps the worst kind as it is presented as benevolence.

Make no mistake, this is the leftists dream for America. Half the country (the traitorous half) would be in full support of the government "taking care of everything". The ONLY thing keeping them from going full steam ahead is the fact that we are armed to the teeth.

Go visit an Indian reservation sometime. Look at those who just survive. Super sad.
