"Typical smoker, thinks he makes up all the rules."

Typical? What an arrogant statement. The majority of smokers are considerate of others and where they smoke. Maybe 2% or so are rude and obnoxious, and they would be that way whether or not they smoked. It is disinformation like you are putting out here that causes many of us considerate smokers to become hostile. I am willing to bet there is some vice that you practice that I could lump you in as "typical" with. If you want to discuss the issues, fine that is what this forum is for, if you want to attack, then be prepared to be attacked back with extreme prejudice.

Then educate me. I'm open to it. EODGuy just corrected one of my remarks and now we're moving on.

And since when do I control your emotions? Don't you have enough self-control to be able to listen to opinions different from your own without becoming hostile?

People who are anti-smokers cannot believe, for the life of them, that we are finally standing up for our rights. They find this most mind boggling. They believe that we should just cower and say "Oh yes, we have to stop smoking. We are so sorry." They can't understand why their propaganda has not worked.

Most smokers are considerate of others? Really? Is that why virtually all of them toss their cigarettes out the windows of their cars rather than putting them out in the ashtray? Ever take a close look at how many millions of cigarette butts line the streets and sidewalks?

That's why I contend that car ashtrays are the most useless invention ever: non-smokers don't need them, and smokers don't use them.
