NHS denied to smokers

We are frequently told that the NHS is the envy of the world because it gives service free at the point of need to everybody. Even health tourists from distant lands that never paid a penny into it. But not smokers. If you smoke and need an operation then it is going to be tough luck. Smokers will of course still have to pay for the NHS, and more than most people thanks to the huge tax on Tabacco, but they can expect nothing from it. Such is the fairness of the last bastion of Socialism.
