Originally posted by academic punk Oh, and by the way, that whole concept of heavy taxes on cigarette smokers and emoting them to virtual second-class citizen status?
That's something that the Canadians already have in place. (non-smokers are given priiority fro surgery and medical care over smokers).
So, Bri, you turning socialist over there or what?
Have you noticed how out-of-control our Medicaid costs are in the fair Empire State? How much of that is due to tobacco related diseases? I'll tell you what, you smokers pay out of pocket for your smoking related illnesses that costs me, and you can keep your tax money, 'till then, the TAXES STAY!

Regarding smoking bans, Cuba as of today (2-13) is now smoke-free in public places. that's right...the country famous for thier cigars 9and probably is 40% of their revenue) is now a big, fat no-smoking zone.
Originally posted by Angel BULLSHIT! I have heard of one Cardiologist in Manitoba who refused to do surgery on a patient until they quit smoking, and one doctor who will no longer see smokers who are not willing to quit.
Priority for surgery is based on need.
I'm a smoker, and I have never had to wait for any medical care due to my smoking. Although, maybe if they refused to replace my pacemaker until I quit, it might give me that extra push.
Maybe so, but I think it's just a matter of time here in the States, and maybe in Canada, that smoking will affect the care a person receives.
Hell, it's already legal to fire a person from a job here in the States if they smoke.
