You make a completely valid point, but I can't help but find it very ironic that that socialization of medicine is used as justification for maintaining government overreach in the war on drugs. Along the same lines, if someone weighs 500 pounds and yet eats 6000 calories day, it's the same issue. How much should society intervene on people who are absurdly self-destructive. How much freedom should people have to damage themselves so much that society has to pay to rescue them from themselves. There are lots of places you could draw that line.
