"Smokers have caved to everything the nonsmokers have asked, and got nothing but grief in return, so I don’t think that being polite and attentive would accomplish anything."

Are you kidding? Smokers fought tooth and nail against every advance the non-smokers pushed.

Perhaps in the past, but smokers are completely defeated now. There’s not enough of them left to fight anything, and they are still having abuse heaped on them. So, if the winners can’t be gracious in victory, that shows they never would have been gracious at all.

Also, I don’t think “fighting tooth and nail” is an accurate characterization at all. First, smokers went and sat in the smoking sections, then they went and stood outside, now they stand outside 20 feet from the door. Where is the “fighting tooth in nail” in that? Sounds like compliance to me.

Once again, spouting things of which you know nothing.
