Really? So smoking known carcinogens isn't bad for you? You
should get
all of your loved ones hooked on them too, there so cool.

I don't smoke, nor does anyone in my family but that does not
make me
want to engage in irrational discrimination against those who do.
There are "known carcinogens" in virtually everything around us.
The
issue is in the concentration, not the mere fact it is there. All
of
the anti smokers here have admitted it is the smell that offends
them
and they invent the danger based on that. It is like those people
who
say they are "allergic" to perfume and after shave simply because
they
don't like the smell.

It has gotten to the point that people complain if they just see
people smoking, too far away to even smell the smoke.
I believe it is because they fear they will start smoking again if
they are around tobacco, not that there is any real danger
present if
they had an ounce of will power.

What is irrational about me not wanting to die because of the
habits of
others? Again, I could care less if someone is stupid enough to
pump
toxins into their body. But when they harm me or my family, that's
different. JustWait even admitted that his wife is allowed to smoke
in
one room that has an exhaust fan. Is he discrimenating against her?
Yes,
the stench IS a real problem, but my family's health is the real
issue
here.

You should stay away from his house,then.

His wife isn't the only one who smokes.
