Tax money being used for self inflicted conditions?
It's the equivalent of us having to pay to help someone who voluntarily chopped their hand off, it's just plain ridiculous. Or someone running around sitting on drawing pins with blood on them and catching AIDS.

As for the above poster, this isn't an argument about whether people should be treated. This is about tax money being used for that treatment. Im sure I don't want my money being spent on people who catch STD's by sleeping around.

Ive never understood smoking...
Most people start at a young age, purely because their friends are doing it, and as far as im aware they get no major benefits from it, and many problems because of it. So where the logic in smoking lies im really not sure.

Nevermind the financial side of things, all that money wasted for no reason at all.

You're potentially cutting years off your life. Which you might not care about now, but when you die at 70 and think you could have had another 5-10years+ on this planet, you'll soon regret it.
