Medicare should not pay for your future treatment and private insurance rates should be raised for 'high risk' policy holders, much like driving.
Insurers already charge more for individual "high risk" (read smokers) policy holders. Group rates of course, generally do not. However, I'd be careful advocating selective underwriting of health coverage at the discretion of insurers based on perceived "high risks" , that's a slippery slope.
In defense of casinos, I'd say that if one considers the number of smokers in Vegas (where it seems like 1 in 3 persons is smoking at a given time, no matter where you go) the casinos have done a remarkable job through ventilation and air filtration to make the air quality as good as possible.
