Also, being Canadian, smoking greatly effects my income each year. My health coverages is provided through taxes and obviously because anyone that smokes for any signficant period of time will have health related issues, it costs us healthy individuals money to provide for their care.

I could be wrong but I'd bet the benefits received by non smokers from the outrageous taxes on cigarettes far outweighs this. If this is true, smokers might actually make you money.

I will agree except I see fat non smoking bastards gorging themselves on fries and big macs, but no one seems to complain they are abusing my health care tax dollars. Or the non smoking vegan health freak that sees the doctor twice a month for every sniffle that they aquire. Or the workaholic stressed guy developing ulcers/strokes/ambulance fees....etc etc....singling out one unhealthy life style is unfare is my point.
