Regarding your statement that smokers will get sick, whereas a boxer only may get damaged, that's not actually true.  It's all just an increase in chances, which is why you get these 100 year old smokers.  So, like I said, it's all just about where you draw the line. And your economic argument applies to pretty much everything that increases risk.  Guns, fast food, boxing, not wearing seatbelts, etc.  All burden society.  Good argument for a nanny state.

(Bold mine)

Don’t threaten me with a good time. Smile

And yes, of course all risky behaviours are a societal burden, but it’s important to keep in mind how much of a burden.

The healthcare costs associated with smoking are closing in on two trillion dollars (PPP) per year. It’s hard to imagine a risky behaviour or group of behaviours that approach that.

And the under 18 group with cancers commonly related to smoking is on the rise. My hillbilly cousins are losing kids even faster than they do during the annual Christmas (Guns make GREAT gifts) slaughter.
