Maybe they should ban smokers, now that their saliva is a threat to us all.

Maybe they should ban science, because it makes smokers feel bad about themselves emotionally. After all, that's what's important, right?

"Maybe they should ban science, because it makes smokers feel bad about themselves emotionally."

No matter how much junk science they use to try to accomplish this, they have failed and will continue to fail. Smokers aren't as wimpy as the anti-smoking nanny staters with oversensitive noses!

I think even smokers will admit that smoking is a rather idiotic habit to enjoy*, but so is a million other things that humans do - we shouldn't lose the right to be dumb@sses.

*I don't think it's as much about "enjoyment" as relief from withdrawels.

Your attempts to use logic with them won't work.

Any attempt to prove to them that smoking is unhealthy to them and to others is disregarded as junk science and you will be berated as an anti-smoking gnatzi in the process.

Only the reality of cancer will wake them up.
