While smokers are more expensive to look after per year of life, after accounting for revenue from excise/import duty we actually save money overall coz they don't live as long.

I'm not sure that we ban everything that is harmful to themselves (e.g. sunbaking), but eventually there's a threshold at which we do, in fact, legislate. Sometimes legislating against a harm factor creates new problems (driving supply into the hands of crims etc).
Surely the aim is to prolong life rather than shorten it...

interested in her statement that Parliament is not drug free

Parliament is a sample of society. If society isn't drug free, it stands to reason that parliament isn't.

That aside, have you seen some of the MPs and senators and their whacky ideas? Of course they're on drugs!

Tobacco should absolutely be illegal. While it doesn't have the long term mental health impact of things like marijuana and cocaine, it is probably the worst thing you can do for your physical health.
i disagree, the worse thing you could do for your physical health would be to sky dive without a parachute
