Grow up, will you?
I can't imagine being in a social situation where we'd ever meet; if we were, it'd be a classic case of "Feet, don't fail me now." You're the kind of person I've avoided my whole life.
When push comes to shove, I'm on the side of the people who don't sacrifice their entire life to worrying what they're going to die of.
You know, people like you.
Considerate smokers recognize the right of non-smokers to breathe clean air.
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?
Perhaps the two of you need to decide whether you are considerate or inconsiderate, adult or childish.
