Smokers can cause themselves serious health problems. The choice to smoke is made freely and with knowledge of the dangers. Smokers should, therefore, expect to pay more for medical treatment than non-smokers. To what extent do you agree with the statement?

The world is aware of the hazards of smoking and the diseases caused by it.

Therefore

, imposing a financial burden on smokers for smoking-related medical treatment seems viable and I agree up to a certain extent on the given notion due to the following reasons. On the one hand, imposing a financial burden on smokers will not only restrain young aspiring smokers from becoming addicted to smoking but

also

help the government spend the medical budget on commoners sufficiently.

Although

, the government of any country allocates funds for providing health facilities to every citizen and they deserve to be fully accommodated with complete medical treatment, giving access to smokers these funds for their medical care would make genuine patients deprived of their basic right of free or minimally charged medical facilities.

Consequently

, the health budget spent on smokers for their treatment would

On the other hand

For example

, any physical injuries, mentally challenged and other general medical conditions that have nothing to do with smoking require medical assistance without any discrepancies. Overall, smoking is dangerous and must be discouraged by any means, even if it takes financial consequences to demoralize and discourage regular and potential smokers. Discouraging smokers without being unfair will result in a healthy society.
