But he still smokes. I can't get off the damn things. He can't quit, though. He has tried and failed and tried and failed again. There probably isn't a single smoker in the country who thinks smoking is good for him.
Smokers know what it does.
And they don't like to be hassled about smoking, whether they want to quit or not. But it happens to every smoker. I take issue with the people who stare, glare and say unkind things to us smokers when we are standing outside smoking. If I approached a person who is overweight, glared at him or her and said, 'You need to eat less and exercise more,' I would be considered very offensive. Also, I love it when the same person who lectures me on air quality and lung impairment then climbs into his or her SUV that gets 12 miles per gallon.
