That's an argument against tax-subsidized healthcare rather than for a smoking ban. Because otherwise you've just nationalized people's bodies.

Why stop at smoking after all? Anyone not doing an hour of cardio daily is being irresponsible with the body entrusted to them by society and is in need of a visit to a reformation camp.

You're free to continue smoking in the privacy of your own home.

Where is that, and is that in your own house or is it a apartment that is owned by a landlord/collection of tenants?
