I heard this one on the radio while at work yesterday. I'm not a smoker, and though I wish everyone could quit I'm a realist and can certainly sympathize with those working in a high stress environment. What I find most insulting about this proposal is the emphasis on "costs to the Pentagon budget", not the health of the soldiers. The Pentagon probably wastes more money than any US institution that we know about, but they're concerned about tobacco related costs to an all volunteer force. I find it hard to justify telling those that put their life on the line for us every day that they can't smoke if they want to. What's your verdict?
