Who pays the medical bills of people who harmed by smoking?

The medical bills of people who are harmed by smoking are typically paid for by the individual's health insurance, if they have it. If the individual does not have health insurance, they may be responsible for paying the bills themselves, or they may be able to receive assistance from government programs such as Medicaid or Medicare. In some cases, the tobacco industry may also be held responsible for paying the medical bills of people who have been harmed by smoking.
