It's amazing what people will say to rationalize their addictions.

Just be honest with yourselves, folks. Just come out and say "Breathing smoke is more important to me than seeing 13 years of my children and grandkids' lives."

Instead, we get humor. Pathetic.

I wasn't being humorous.

Lots of things lots of people do are not exactly "healthy" but do not get the abuse and junk science heaped upon them the way it is done with smokers and smoking.

Do you support government intervention to ensure that individuals will be able to "see 13 years of their children and grandkids' lives"? If so, would you also advocate government intervention in eating habits? If not, what gives you the authority to be so judgemental over other's choices?
