Considerate non-smokers recognize the right of smokers to partake in a legal product.
So what we have is not smokers and non-smokers, but considerate and inconsiderate people.
As a parent and a smoker, I consider it far more important that my son learn how to be considerate than it is for him to be programmed to be a non-smoker.
Inconsiderate smokers inflict their second hand smoke on others who do not wish it. Inconsiderate non-smokers believe it is right to indignantly proclaim to the world that smoking is evil, and they never miss an opportunity to do so, do they?
Remember the days when we all got along?! I long for those days, before the anti's cropped up and were forced out with cookie cutters. ~sigh
