I don't agree with the anti-smoking Nazis, This statement seems refuted by the rest of your statements. What about the anti-smoking Nazi's ideas do you not agree with?
but smokers really do waste a lot of time on their smoke breaks,
Proof? Define 'waste'.
and there's a reason that they were moved outside.
So they could waste time? Be less productive? By the way, they look like heroin junkies in a shooting gallery when they stand outside huddled together in front of office buildings. ...NO, I'm not saying smoking is as bad as crank or heroin abuse, just drawing the analogy.
But you did say just that, twice. The analogy stinks more than the smoking.
Yes, for years I looked at the huddled masses in front and between office buildings and thought of the needle parks of the Netherlands.
And I stand by my analogy, BECAUSE an addiction to smoking burning leaves hardly qualifies one as essentially conservative. No more than overeaters are conservative because they are killing themselves with food. Please, let's not let our hate of the Health Nazis and do-gooders cloud our common sense.
You may smoke, and that's fine. Just realize that I can at times be unhappy with being around you without wanting to scold you or ban your behavior.
