Lots of people do things that injure their health. Being fat is bad for you- but we don't kick fatties out of the system. Drinking excessively is bad, yet again, we don't kick drinkers out. Not having an exercise program is VERY bad, but we don't refuse to treat the lethargic. I'm afraid I'm not much in favor of persecuting people for their "sins"- whatever they might be. I say let the government get out of the sin business. Now keeping people from smoking in the public air space is different- that's keeping people from assaulting others with their noxious fumes, but punishing people for smoking when they don't bother anyone? I'm not for it. Let people take all the drugs they want, when they aren't injuring anyone else. Maybe, just maybe, people will be happier, and the government will be less intrusive.
