There's nothing worse than an ex-smoker who chastises someone for the same bad habit that they formerly indulged in. I think they're just p***ed that they can no longer smoke so they have to pass judgement on everyone else. I despise beer but I don't try to prevent anyone from drinking it.

a good while back, there was a pubbie rep in north dakato that proposed legislation to completely ban smoking in the entire state....there was a thread on here about it but i didn't bookmark it and don't know the keywords, but a hearing was held at the state level and the ones to come out against a total ban was American Cancer society and various doctor and nurse's groups. their reason....the loss of the tax revenue would eliminate the funding for their stop smoking programs. not kidding..if some one here is smart enough to find it, please re-post that thread.
