I probably mangled my sentence.This makes absolutely no sense. In a country where there is universal health care, how do health problems brought on by alcohol or fatty foods not cost the public?

America is not one of those countries.
Excuse me, but - "lessen the negative health effects of tobacco?" Well, sure, I guess the additives used that only increase the chances of cancer and addictivity could be regulated, but smoking is innately unhealthy regardless. Anyway, my reply wasn't directed to you, and I'm not in the mood to argue with you.Sure they could. If governments would work with tobacco corporations, legal entities, to find ways to lessen the negative health effects of tobacco, a legal substance, it would go a long way. But the governments have such a sweet deal going on: they get to demonize tobacco, its users, and its producers while still reaping billions off it, effectively keeping many governments in a surplus. They have no desire to change the status quo, and that is the bottom line.
