      I wouldn’t say that. In most of the world it is discouraged, but in the US they are zealots when it comes to smoking.

      There is nothing criminal about smoking, and people should not be ostracized for it.

            So, the health effects of smoking are born only by the smoker? There are no economic impacts on the general public? Not to mention second-hand smoke.

            Having a healthier society benefits everyone. Having a large portion of the population engage in behaviors that hurt public health is harmful to everyone.

            That isn’t to say it should be illegal necessarily, but it should be heavily discouraged. That includes by government policy.

            It doesn’t affect me to inhale the second-hand smoke of the asshole smoking at the table next to me? I think it does.

        it should be criminal and people certainly should be ostracized for it. fuck smokers. I’d rather have heroin addicts in my vicinity.

            you’re the one cucking for smokers so I don’t know what you mean. but my wife doesn’t smell like shit all the time so I can safely say no.

            smokers infringe on the rights of everyone around them. they can suck shit. hell, they’d probably stink less if they did.
