Today it is similar to being a sloppy fat person, people’s respect for a smoker drops a notch, especially when watching them having to go outside in the cold,and all the other adjustments they make to their life and the lives of people with them, that and the daily cost makes you realize how desperately addicted and hopeless they are.

Only to the ill-mannered, the helpless fad followers and the junk science crowd.

Ill-mannered is almost always the smoker, or it would be someone berating the smoker for no reason, so you missed on that.

The dying of tobacco use isn’t because of a new fad, it has been happening for decades, cigarette smoking just seems silly today, that is why cigarette smoking is becoming so rare.
