You forget that we have the Criminal Justice Act, ISA and the
death penalty. Al Capone would not have lasted a year before being
hanged in Singapore.
If a smoker kenna kidney disease, which has totally nothing to
do with smoking, why shouldn't he enjoy any subsidizes? If a
non-smoker kenna lung cancer, he should enjoy the subsidizes,
right?
Fair enough. One grey area is what to do if the non-smoker wife
of the smoker husband catches lung cancer from second-hand smoke.
The husband should be made to pay more for the treatment.
