  1. No problems as long as every smoker signs a waver that they won’t accept a cent of public money for their health care.

  2. Yes good idea as long as every smoker and vaper signs a waiver that they never qualify for any public health care.

  4. ​@bradsharp1803 Comparing a cheese sandwich to cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs is a false equivalence. There is literally no benefit in smoking a cigarette, eating a cheese sandwich provides calories to assist in bodily function.

  5. Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances on the planet. To equate alcohol and tobacco is mind boggling stupid.

  6.  @oldnutta7611  This happens to me all the time. My comments are deleted for no apparent reason other than a word I have used has annoyed their AI. It’s very frustrating, but it’s the price you pay communicating on a private platform.

  8. ​ @bradsharp1803 Alcohol is heavily taxed, and nicotine is one of the most addictive and poisonous substances on the planet and you are comparing it to a cheese sandwich. That's laughable.

  12. ​ @BamBamZ_Gaming Sugar provides the body with essential calories that are necessary for the body to function. Equating sugar with nicotine is laughable.

  13. Many estimates that include not just the health care costs but the social costs as well as productivity loss put it much higher than the $7 billion in tax receipts annually, just the health care costs are estimated to be $6 billion.

  14. ​@Morsmalleo_Secondary You almost sounded like an adult until you couldn't resist by including a personal slur. Very mature.

  15. ​@fraiserfurner1504 Nicotine is one of the most poisonous and addictive substances on the planet and you just equated it with a powerade, that is literally being ridiculous. Yes i had two chain smoking parents and saw up close exactly what damage it does. You finished with a fallacious statement about smokers, which is just a "strawman". I don't like what smoking does to your body, i have nothing against smokers on the contrary, know and understand how hopeless their situation is.

  16. As long as you sign a waiver to refuse all and any public health care I don’t give a shit what crap you put in your body.

  17. Because nicotine is one of the most poisonous substances on the planet.

  18. Why.

  19.  @oldnutta7611  Yep total agreement. Not a cent of public health funding.

  20.  @oldnutta7611  You tell me. If you what to spend ridiculous amounts on defence and infrastructure then there has to be sacrifice. Stop the aged pension, aged care subsidies. Let people pay the real cost of their lifestyle choices.

  21. I think we are in agreement here. The original comment was absurd in its naivety. The system tax’s tobacco because it is one of the most addictive poisonous substances on the planet and costs our healthcare system $billions. Hence we tax its use to compensate the drain on our healthcare system. It’s not really that hard to understand.
