What makes me mad is the things smokers have been trained, and are now forced, to go through. I hate second-hand smoke, too , and I try never to offend anyone by smoking around them if they don't appreciate it. Put in perspective, there are a lot of stupid things that people do that cause much more immediate suffering to society, and yet are absolutely ignored. If I'm considerate about how I do it, I'm only hurting myself, and if you're going to legislate against that, I guess you'll have to outlaw skydiving, walking in the park at night, and having babies. Logic, extended fully, can provide a wonderful rebuttal to any emotional argument.
Any idiot can bitch, and any liberal can levee taxes.
Noble individuals recognize their own fallibility, and do not throw rocks in their own glass houses.
