Just do some “empirical” observation, I live in an area where smoking is probably frowned on rather strongly at all.
Go to an office building, do you still see a lot or maybe a number of people go out for cigarette breaks?? I would wager so on a rather widespread basis. It is what it is.
Ooops, I meant to address that previous post to all.
What is interesting is I would suppose some people would argue the Bible likewise disses smoking.
“Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate that you just hate to make him wait but you’ve just got to have another cigarette.”
