Oh for heaven's sake. Where did you get that garbage?

(That's my response to your response!) And I listed my source. Just because you don't like the findings that second hand smoke contains bad stuff does not make the scientific findings "garbage."

As for your op-ed, even if true, it is irrelevant. Why? Because what I eat, I eat. It does nothing to you if I eat all of the things you describe. UNLIKE second hand smoke, which you create and those around you inhale. I really don't care about the health of smokers - if they are foolish enough to smoke, let them. But don't expose me to the by-products of it. And likewise, I don't care if you don't believe that smoking is unhealthy, I do, so don't expose me to it. Why should I suffer for your behavior? Just like being gay - it's behavior that you guys are engaging in that is bad, and you want society to condone.

Oh - 10 mile run went well. Negative split on a 5 mile course. Averaged 7:40 a mile. Guess all that non-smoking is really hurting me.

Listen Mr. Smug. There is not a gay bone in my body and I resent the reference that you think I am! Or you think any of us in here are.

Most gays cannot smoke, because of their immune system being so worn out. You seem to want to lump smokers in with all the ills of the earth. Well, I beg to differ with you. We are not the demons you would like us to be.

Not only obtuse:

But narcissistic, to boot:

People with attitudes like yours make me want to grease my hair up and stick lit cigarettes in it, BlackBeard-style, to ensure you never wander into hearing distance.
