I’m not talking about science.
If I can’t burn what I want in a public place, then neither can anyone else!
Tobacco is not sacred.
Smokers have always wanted special rights above and beyond anyone else. Although I don’t believe in the ban on smoking in PRIVATE places and I’d work to get that repealed I have to say smokers brought all that upon themselves by their absolute arrogance and intransigence.
Now they want others to stand up for their ‘special rights’.
I would be forced to agree with you, were it not for your false premise. Not all, or even most smokers fit your description.
Many years ago, when I smoked, at an outdoor music performance, I had an insane woman (no other description fits) who ran a couple of hundred feet to scream at me, for "poisoning" her air.
The fact that she was upwind the entire time had no effect whatsoever on her neurosis.
You want to talk absolute intransigence and arrogance?
