[QUOTE="planetary, post: 277388, member: 955"] I've long thought that as societies embrace national health care, in which the government has an increased stake in the health care costs of its people, that it will begin to penalize and prohibit behaviors which increase health care costs. In general, smoking makes people less healthy than they otherwise would be, so I expect that tobacco will be targeted. And it's quite natural for it to be. If you entrust the government with the twin goals of paying for health care and keeping taxes under control, then they will naturally do everything in their power to decrease costs, including, if necessary, preventing the population access to things that increase medical cost risks.
