By this logic that the things we partake in that do not advance person and society, and only result in a drain on the medical system, then by default precedent, these also have to go:
Non Medical Alcohols
Fast/Fried Foods
Soft Drinks
Twinkies, Chips and other Junk Foods.
(the above will contribute more to health care drains in the next 20 years than smokers EVER had. Cancer aint curable, and not necessarily treatable in most cases. We die pretty quick, a short term but expensive drain, but diabetes... that **** sticks with you and you can live. Not to mention related kidney and liver issues, both of which in most cases they can keep you going a hell of a lot longer at higher than bargain prices!)
Mountain Biking
Sky Diving
Skate Boarding
(in fact, just about any extreme sport or activity that can result in prolonged medical care that serves no social purpose other than an Adrenaline rush. This does not include professional athletes, as the revenue and subsequent taxes more than adequetly cover their medical costs.)
Aluminum Cookware (I think this is already taken care of though)
I could name more, and I will if necessary, but I think I made my point.
So unless you are growing your own tomatoes with no pesticides, eating the boiled pork you just cut from your own slaughtered sow that has never been exposed to consuming animal by-products, growth hormones, excesive antibiotics, drive a hybrid car (bikes are dangerous, just ask my face, and fossil-fuel internal combustion is only, like, a hundred years outdated), have never sampled your brother -in-laws Secret Christmas Asskicking Eggnog while scarfing down some chinese food and only use stainless steel for cooking...
Don't razz me about a smoke or two :D
