Why should members of society be forced to pay medical bills of smokers?
This is a delicate question. If you remove smokers from being able to access public medical benefits, you then have to think "who else should be removed?". This could open up a Pandora's box. Should the public medical system help drug addicts, people who overeat, people who participate in dangerous activities such as skydiving or motorcross sports, people who drink alcohol and the list goes on.

What is the ratio of smokers to non-smokers?
75% of Americans are non smokers while 25% are smokers.. but those numbers (smokers) go down each year as new medical science is giving fed up smokers are kicking the habit (me being one of them!) ;) I QUIT (And I am proud to say I am a quitter!) :P ID00000000, Didn't you claim to be 15 years when you spammed another one of my answers? Judging by the infantile nature of your spamming, are you as old as 15? The 'official' estimates of smoking prevalence are derived mostly from telephone surveys. Given the current witch hunt against smokers, admitting that you're a smoker is similar to admitting you're a serial killer. Other data, for example tobacco sales, suggest the 'official' prevalence rate could be under-estimated by up to 55%. In other words, up to around 15% of Americans could be 'closet smokers'.
