As many of you probably know, I support national health insurance. Just as I believe that such insurance should treat drug addiction, it should also treat addiction to tobacco products. Moreover, American tobacco companies should be forbidden from marketing overseas, where they are now killing people in the third world. Advertising tobacco products should also be made illegal. But no, smoking itself should not be illegal. If smokers are treated by a national health insurance plan, they can become free from their coffin nails without their rights being infringed upon in any way.
