Yes it is. and the interesting thing I've noticed with a lot of the antis is that they are slipping more and more into that mode.
And while it may be more honest than the bogus second-hand-smoke junkscience - I find it to be even more dangerous - because it further opens the door for other things.
I love shrimp, but I have a very strange allergic reaction to raw shrimp - should I be seeking legislation that bans raw shrimp from any place I may be someday? But that is exactly what the antis have been doing over the years.
Because THEY don't like it THEY expect to be "protected" from it everywhere, so they will never have the inconvenience of being confronted with something that they don't like or offends them or makes them uncomfortable.
Then along come the Luvs and their ilk.
If you go back over the thread, you'll see that many people, including myself, tried to post positively back to him, being polite, posting links (which he ignored), in general trying to keep a civil tone.
Twirps like him think we are all below him, that we're too stupid to know that smoking might harm us. They put words in our mouths, twist our meanings, and when they are ignored resort to insulting our intelligence.
As you say, we're tired of it. These people aren't gods. There's only one God that I know of and he lets me make my own decisions, right or wrong. (Well sometimes, there is that annoying inner voice that kind of brings one up short.)
We all are familiar with the negatives of smoking tobacco, and the main point is that, to us, these threads are about property rights and individual sovereignty, that the Luvs never address.
To he!! with 'em.
