I smoke, its a dirty nasty filthy habit but hey, Ive helped pay for the Browns and Indians stadium (sin tax) and now Im paying more tax to help balance the state budget. Doesnt that entitle me to a little respect? Perhaps not.
EXACTLY! Non-smokers should be THANKING us for all the money added to the state budget. Every time someone bitches about me smoking, I want to point to a park bench or something and say "See that? I paid for it! Now shut up!"
Besides the taxes, they can also thank me for the huge windfall from the bogus "tobacco settlement" that many states participated in. Funny how all that money was supposed to go toward anti-smoking education and health care. Yet where has the money really been spent? Who knows.
You're right about it being a filthy habit. I admit it, and I won't smoke around others unless I know they don't mind. I have no problem with non-smokers who don't like the smell. It's the militant anti-smokers who start yelling about how I'm killing them with second-hand smoke that piss me off to no end.

LOL! Right on! You go girl!
I've come to the conclusion there are 3 types of smokers:
1. Non-smokers
2. Smokers
3. Anti-smokers.
#3 being the most militant of course; usually from the same crowd that screams for tolerance!
Maybe it's time to pass an extra tax on being a whiner. Let's call it a HALO tax (for those in the class of human beings "superior" to the smokers). After all, socialism is supposed to be "FAIR!!!!"
