Ok so I do not smoke, but I find it irritating when people who do smoke get lectured and scoffed at by people who do not. You do not see people yelling at people who drink soda, or eat at McDonald's, or who drink beer. Those are all bad for you, but they do not get nearly as much attention as smoking. I wish people would just shut up and let people do what they want. Anyone else feel the same way?

when was the last time your clothes smelled like soda? when was the last time you had mcdonald's blown in your face? Basically, smokers stink. But, i did vote against the measure in Washington State to ban smoking in public places such as restaurants. I think that in that instance, restaurant owners should be able to choose for themselves.
I do feel smokers get shat on but i never enjoy having smoke blown in my face at 8 in morning as i get off the train.

first GOD gave us the free will so therefore we have to use it.. BUT of course everyone is not using that free will in a rightful manner..
yeah let them do what they want.. it for us, who are health conscious individuals to stay with them or get away from them..
right?? but first try to convince them about healthy living..
