The emotional part of me says yes.. hell yes.. due to the fact family members have died of lung cancer or related diseases.
But the more rational part says no... just tax the **** out of it. Also double private premiums for anyone who smokes.

Voted other but am trending towards no.
The issue at hand is the measurable impact cigarettes have on healthcare costs, and that is a distributed platform of dealing with costs that take this "personal choice" and applying the consequences to others. That blurs the lines on a personal choice ending with a personal consequence. So dealing with costs changes the discussion, with healthcare costs it is not voluntary participation anymore.
No to the total illegality. The manufacturers should not be allowed to doctor the tobacco by treating it with chemicals to make it burn continuously and not quickly burn out and they also specifically adjust the nicotine levels to maintain a constant "hit" level. I don't know what other additives might be included in contemporary cigarettes.

By my experience, the most rabid anti-smokers are ex-smokers.

Are the total costs higher? If cigarette smokers die years early, the means not only other old age healthcare costs, but also no social security payments or other old age costs. Collectively, due to dying younger cigarette smokers may cost less than people who live much longer.

They don't burn continuously as a safety measure.
Do your homework.

You really didn't know that?
It's a smoke screen, pardon the pun. I think all of the Nanny State BS is so the government can grab more money setting up the infrastructure it takes to implement such ideas.
Besides what's up with making smoking pot legal and banning smoking cigarettes?
