[but what people do to their own bodies is their business. ]
I agree, but I take issue when it’s affecting MY body. As an ex-smoker, I enjoy the fact I am not smelling smoke in restaurants, bars, or other establishments.
My biggest beef with smokers is the littering that results. It makes me sick to go to the beach, put my feet in the sand, and pull them out with old butts stuck between my toes.
I’ve got a strong beef with their recruitment of minors. Not overt recruitment, but they are turning a blind eye to kids becoming addicts. 90% of adult smokers started as teenagers, got hooked and can’t quit.
Ditto.
My last cigarette was in March of 1986.
I quit cold turkey and never looked back.
