Most smokers are addicts. They don't listen to reason, or behave accordingly.

Anti-smokers are the addicts..........they have no concept of reason and thus act accordingly.

So you are saying that anything people can be addicted to should be regulated? Gambling? Sex (including porn)? Junk food? Sports?

Regulating smoking unfortunately is necessary.

Why?

Most smokers are addicts. They don't listen to reason, or behave accordingly.



Is the regulation of caffiene also a necessity? How about all other addictions?

Funny thing is, the exact same thing can be said about irrational, neurotic, rabid anti-smokers...

On the contrary, most smokers (there is a jerk in every group, after all) I have seen try their best to accomodate. My father-in-law will go outside whenever he smokes, not because he is told to, but because he doesn't want to smoke around his grandkids.

I was outside the library when I smelled cigarette smoke. The man smoking was trying his best to smoke in the other direction, so as not to bother me. Which is even funnier, because I soon found out I had unknowingly been standing next to the Designated Smoking Area sign.

What business of your's is it if others are addicted to a vice, you twit? And not paying attention to the likes of you, the gods of reason, harms you how?

I suppose you'd like to come around and give us all a personal lesson in behavior, eh Adolph?

I forget, which chapter defines "behaving accordingly?"

Who are they supposed to listen to?

Could you please define "behave accordingly"?

You really know how to win friends and influence people. Stop the hate-mongering!
