As the saying goes, "Is that the hill you want to die on?" You want to fight for liberty to do something unhealthy and stinky?
I used to smoke. Loved it. Then didn't love it but wanted it badly and didn't feel right without it. I paid $100 a month for the stench, the cough, the fire hazard, and the social drawbacks of being a smoker around wiser and cleaner people.
Come into the light, friends. It's a nasty habit, not a torch of liberty. Addiction isn't freedom. Old Nic is not your ally, he's just the enemy of your enemy---and he's your enemy too.
How's the air up there on Mt. Olympus?
Would it be OK if some of us continue living our own lives, or is this forbidden by the "wiser and cleaner?"
Pompous ass.
I'm quitting right now. Well as soon as the ten cartons I just got from the redskins are gone...
Seriously, your pomposity underwhelms me.
Why must the newly reformed become obnoxious reformers?
As a non-smoker who has never and will never smoke: yes.
It is a torch of liberty!
Good analogy though.
It's legal, it's fun. Light up that torch.
And smokers, put down that drink and cigarette and become activists and all will change.
You are a bigger minority than gays, Blacks or Mexicans.
Why the heck don't you do something????
