It's not a "for sure" thing that I am going to cost them a bundle in health care if I smoke or am fat.
With this kind of thinking we should check everybody genetically and charge those people with bad DNA more for health care.
What about people with a history of heart disease or cancer, shouldn't they pay more for health care. They're going to use more of it.

I agree. Smokers should be able to smoke in restaurants, in movies, in church, or anywhere they please. If a surgeon wants to puff on a cigarette while performing surgery, so be it. The state should not be telling us what to do. We, the people, need to march on Tallahassee and get this no-smoking law repealed.

And while we're at it, let's do away with the driving while drinking law, and the seat belt law, and toss all the kid's car seats out.

We already have a 'right to kill' law, but we have to make sure felons and terrorists have the right to buy guns. They can't tell us what to do. Get ready to rumble in Tallahassee.
