"Life is tough, and it is really tough when you're stupid." -=Sgt Stryker=-
Stupid people have died from being stupid for a long time. Heinlein's little one-liner has always made sense to me, along the lines of: "There is no sin in the universe but stupidity, and one punishment, death."
My smoking has probably shortened my life span. I chose to smoke, so I chose to shorten my life. Works for me, it's fair, I could have chosen not to, I could have chosen to take my momma's advice and not smoke. Besides her warning, the warning has been on the pack since before I started puffing the butts. You hear me crying about it? Nope. You pay your money and you take your chances.
Personal accountability works for me.
As that crazy old granny might have been heard to say:
"Shoot smack? Snort Coke? Smoke Crack? Drink too much moonshine? Smoke too much? You gonna die, and you gonna die young. Yore momma dun tole you it wuz bad fer ya, I guess you aint got the sense you wuz born with!"

Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the Men 'O War!
In War, the outcome is never final. --Carl von Clausewitz--
Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum
John 11:35 - consider why.
