In the case of smoking something like this may in fact be reasonable to a point. However, as others point out it is a slippery slippery slope. Did your parents have cancer? Did anyone is your family have ____? Pre-existing conditions? Have you ever been admitted to a hospital? Sorry no job (or no insurance) for you.
Although good health practices must be encourage and there is no excuse for anyone to be smoking during this century (we have known to much for too long) as others point out it is a slippery slope. Health care really needs to be pooled across the population (whatever that unit might be). Otherwise, you have a situation where the only people who will be able to get it won't need it and once they do need it they will be forced out of thier job or out of their insurance (already this second is happening all the time) soon enough.
