Hi Sylvain,

Well, go to a real free market then. You health care is NOT free at all. You yourself mentioned the tax angle. All that does is force someone else to pay for your health care at the point in time that your own contributions exceed your expenses.

I think jury's still out on 2nd hand smoke.


>That pose problem here in Canada, where the health care system is free to every citizen. Smokers cost a lot in health care. So we have to make some though decisions because of them: do we increase the already high taxes or we live with a health care where it takes over 6 months to have a heart operation and where the majority of doctors don't take new clients?

>What do you do about second smoke? There is a televised ad here that tell the story of a 50-something woman who will die in the next 6 months or so of a smoker-related cancer. The thing is, she never smoked. She worked in a smoker environment.

>>I think people shouldn't smoke and that they should eat a healthy diet. But society has no right to force them to so do IMO.
