Are you all idiots?
I was talking about not smoking in places where there is a danger to others. Go and reread what I said. Yes, I do not like smokers, but this blog wasn't about that. It was about smokers who smoke in dangerous places, such as the gas station or when working on a car. These are times when they are risking the lives of others just for their addictions. That is why I compared it to drunk driving, it is the same thing.

kooka, now after reading the last seven posts or so in this blog, I can
only suggest that you take up some bad habit which might bring you joy......where is your joy? Maybe you find it in blogging here. I hope so. You sound like an old curmudgeon and that's supposed to be my role on the BN!!!!
Don't ever travel into other nations because they use fireworks in crowded churchyards and chain lock exits to nightclubs and other things which would just drive you mad.

So you're comparing drink driving to smoking now? Well done, I hope that cigarette butt I threw down the drain doesn't cause a car full of children to die in a car crash.
Yeah, good call.

you mothers
You both missed the point here and I think it is because I hit very close to home. I do not do things that are that high os risk to my well being. Why? Because I am smart enough not to. It is one thing just to smoke, that is stupid to begin with, but to smoke in a situation that can cause even greater harm, not only to yourself but to others around you, this should be illegal. It is not about addiction, but common sense here. I don't wish to be blown up at a gas station because some idiot decides they can't wait to light up. All you doing is trying to defend what you already know to be wrong. I am very, very glad I do not know what it is like to be addicted to smoking, but that does not mean I should just accept it when someone else puts my life on the line for their addiction. Next thing you know we'll have an alcoholic here defending driving while drunk.

Food for Thought
You can't really understand until you have walked in someone else's shoes. Cigarettes are more addictive than Heroin. I didn't know the facts when I started smoking. There wasn't this huge anti-smoking campaign, etc., then. If there was, I would have never started. I still smoke, but I'm working on quitting. My point is, you can't understand, not unless you've been there.

On the same hand, you, as a non smoker, could get hit by a bus and killed tomorrow morning. Are smokers stupid, or does it just not really matter?
