The irony is that this includes people with self-induced risks, like smoking.
I'm wondering how many people will either falsely claim to smoke, or even just start smoking to skip to the front of the line..

Isn't part of the point to keep bodies out of ICU beds? > I'm wondering how many people will either falsely claim to smoke, or even just start smoking to skip to the front of the line. Probably some, but you're risking increased insurance premiums for years to come if you insurance company finds out.
- mancerayder 6y agoIn NJ you can be a smoker and automatically qualify. Yes, we know that smoking increases dangers from Covid-19. There is, however, a self-induced aspect that makes it at least worth discussing as a valid policy. And let me add that anyone can suddenly become a smoker right beforehand to qualify. You can't deny it's at the very least awkward social policy.
