People need to take full responcibility for their actions or inactions. In this light, government should not be allowed to subsidise the poor choices people make. No Medicare or other govt subsidies for smoking related diseases, obesity or injuries resulting from unsafe behavior (eg head injuries if you ride without a helmet). We all know the dangers, and government should not financillaly or otherwise encourage these activities. Judges should throw out lawsuits that individuals file as a result of their foolish behavior or choices.

By the way I ride, and have smoked in the past.
