News Somebody, Alert Michael Moore Please!

The end is near.
How do I know this? Because Tribune Co., one of the largest media chains in the United States, has announced plans to charge smokers a $100 monthly surcharge for health insurance.
I wonder how they'll determine who's a smoker? I know lots of people who smoke occasionally (really occasionally, not half-a-pack-a-day occasionally) or only when they drink. If someone sneaks a drag in the privacy of her home, will some Tribune human resources hatchetman pop out of a closet and hand her a bill?
