OK, I'm probably going to get blasted for this, but here goes... I am so sick and tired of everyone being so apalled with smokers... Yes, I smoke cigarettes and a rare cigar. I smoke in my home, car, train room, etc. I realize my home smells like smoke, and so do I. But do I complain about being exposed to toxic exhaust fumes from autos, trucks, buses, and yes, sadly, trains? NO. These are only the most noticeable toxins we all breathe in every day. What about factories and power plants? Now, I respect those that prefer I don't smoke in their homes, businesses, etc. But it seems where ever I turn, there are the anti-smokers hovering everywhere. (The worst part is, I have know a few rabid anti smokers who regularly smoked pot and thought that was just fine. Didn't they think they smelled like pot smoke?) I think it is possible we may face another era of prohibition, like the country did with alcohol in the last century. I think it created more alcoholics than it cured. I know smoking is bad for my health, but so is most of the processed food we are exposed to on a daily basis. My father died last week of lung cancer, at 82 and I asked him if he regretted his years of smoking just before he died. He said "Why tiptoe thru life to get to death safely?" Anyhow, I respect those who prefer I not smoke in their presence, I wish I could say the reverse was true! Go ahead... Blast away...
