Not all smokers are stupid. Many of us are well aware of the risks, but choose to continue our habit. Why? Because we are all slowly dying anyway, and the method isn’t really that important. Because one century after our deaths, few will really care. We don’t need your approval, and we don’t care for your disdain, because we chose for ourselves instead of blindly joining the “healthy lifestyle” bandwagon.
Some are predisposed towards addiction, and because of the stigma that you people attach to cigarettes and addiction in general, are afraid to seek help. They should be held in pity, not contempt.
And then there’s everyone in between. But are they not all allowed to make their own choices, in life? If they are above the legal age, then I don’t see the issue.
However, if you want to insist upon bitching over how smokers are “idiots, don’t they know how unhealthy that is” (while you chow down on a burger, or a kebab, or a chocolate bar), how about you stop impeding on my right to enjoy my short time on this planet, and just think of it as natural selection in progress?
Most smokers will try to be considerate, and keep their smoke away from children and asthmatics (personally, I ask if I’m about to spark up, just to make sure), but could you please bear in mind that you don’t own the open air any more than I do, and that you probably do more than your fair share of pollution (aerosols, cars, ‘forgetting’ to recycle, excess use of electricity…), and instead of rolling your eyes at us, glaring, coughing pointedly and trying to stare us down and make us move, why don’t you take the initiative? If you are able-bodied, then frankly, I don’t see why I should move when you are the person with the problem.
If you’re going to piss and moan that I’m smoking in a crowded place, I am going to laugh in your face. I’ll be as polite as I can to anyone who makes sense. Since smoking in indoor public places is illegal, here, the only crowded place I could smoke is outside. Unless you are severely asthmatic, or have some other rather sensitive lung condition, a mouthful of diluted, rapidly dispersing smoke is not going to do you any harm. You might cough. Once. Get over it.
Problem?
