People older than that didn't have the truth, so cannot be called abnormal. Their addiction isn't their fault.

No, tobacco has been known to be harmful and addictive for well over 100 years. Despite the tobacco companies propaganda, the data was out there and easily obtainable by any adult. I cut no slack to the people who claim they didn't know better.

If people still want to smoke, even knowing the downside, then I give them the same consideration I would an adrenaline junkie who freeclimbs cliffs. If you sustain grievous injury, it's your own damn fault. Just try not to splatter on me when you fall.

Makes sense. I stand corrected.
