To YOU - not to everyone. Why is it so difficult for you to get that simple concept?
I did nothing to pass these laws, nor promote these laws, but I really appreciate them.
By your silence you allowed the infringement of the property rights of others. By your appreciation of such infringement you accept the idea the government knows best.
As a consequence, almost everybody who can possibly quit has, so you seldom encounter anyone who smokes any more.
You obviously live surrounded by people who are incapable of thinking for themselves and must be forced into conformance. I have never met a former smoker who had difficulty quitting when they decided it was time to do so. The ones who had problems are those who didn't want to but had this need to conform to the PC and they have become the newest generation of the anti-smoker brigade.
That is why the smelly man buying cigarettes in the pharmacy was so startling
I will repeat it again - he was smelly to YOU.
Are you a river in Egypt?
