Not at all. I'm very much in favour of universal healthcare, I just don't think that voluntarily self-destructive behaviour should be a drain on the system.
If you want to smoke, then smoke. But that shouldn't give you carte blanche to take medical resources away from other people.

I meant him!
Although now I'm curious if you think those who got lung cancer from a lifetime of smoking should be liable for their treatment costs, even if other cancers may be treated at little to no cost? (Assuming a single-payer system)
