You're posting from the UK; I assume you're asking if smokers should be treated under the NHS if they become ill.

Smokers have paid National Insurance contributions toward their NHS health care just as non-smokers have and so are entitled to be treated.

And yes, they should be treated, without being judged.

First, who is going to decide which is a self-induced illness? You mention obese people and heart attacks; not all unhealthy eaters are obese, or even overweight, many people who have heart attacks are not obese, and manypeople who have heart attacks had none of those risk factors. Who is going to have the task of dividing them into the deserving and the undeserving and deciding who should be treated and who shouldn't, and who should pay and who shouldn't?

And should motorists, participants in dangerous sports, jaywalkers - just to name a few - to be penalised too? They knew the risks, after all...

Secondly, most people currently currently with smoking related cancers are over 60. They grew up in a time when just about everyone smoked - when I was a child I thought it was just something all adults did, and assumed I would too some day. It's a wonder I never started smoking.

In those days the full dangers of smoking weren't understood. And still today, most people who smoke started in their teens, when not only did they not fully comprehend the dangers, but smoking is considered cool and adult. And it's an addiction.

Blame the companies that continue to manufacture and promote cigarettes, blame the governments that allow them to do so because they want the revenue. Blame those who make a profit from other people's suffering.

Ignoring health warnings is not and shouldn't be punishable by an agonising disease and a hideously painful death.

Yes, everyone should receive free treatment on the NHS

Đổ lỗi cho các công ty tiếp tục sản xuất và thúc đẩy các thuốc lá, đổ lỗi cho chính phủ cho phép họ làm như vậy bởi vì họ muốn lợi nhuận. Đổ lỗi cho những người làm cho lợi nhuận từ đau khổ của người khác. Bỏ qua cảnh báo sức khỏe không phải và không nên bị trừng phạt bởi một bệnh các và một cái chết đau đớn hideously.
