Quit being so fucking self-righteous. It's pathetic. We went down this exact same route with another person like this a couple of years ago. You're shaping up to be another one of these ridiculous militants who thinks that all smokers are out to get those who don't smoke. The inconsiderate smokers, in my experience, are a vast minority. But as soon as any one of you see one person light up near a group of non-smokers it's like the Third fucking Reich just marched into town and started slaughtering left right and centre. Not all non-smokers are like that, of course, but people like you who act as if they're for some reason above those who smoke, and have for whatever purpose decided that they can rationalize a ridiculous prejudice toward another group of people are completely out of line. And that's all it is. It's a prejudicial attitude. It's a biased, uninformed negative opinion about another group of people. Textbook definition of prejudice.
The point: get over yourself. You're no better than I just because I choose to smoke. If anything, you're far less accepting of people who have made certain lifestyle choices differently than you, which I think puts you a peg or two below anyone else who's posted here.
First of all, lighten up a little, my man. It's a discussion, not a debate on whose mother is going to be murdered.
How is it being self-righteous? Smoking has no good points, apart from a drug-influenced 'enjoyment' (and detecting laser beams!). I can choose to look down on smoking, the same way I can look down on drunken-driving, or those who damage the environment.
I don't believe smokers are 'out to get us', but they are guilty of inflicting unwanted and harmful substances on others without caring. Ignorance, in my opinion. Not all do it, but a lot of people do. It's not a 'ridiculous prejudice' as you described it. I don't smoke, and therefore don't wish to end up with watery eyes, a cough, along with the side-effects of second hand smoke.
And why should I get over myself? You're not going to get over smoking because I told you to on a forum!
Bro, I'm entitled to my opinions. And I'm entitled to look down on smokers if so I wish - just as you can look down on me for doing so. My mother actually smoked (she gave them up qround 8 years ago though, said it was the best thing she ever did), but I would still view her as foolish for smoking.
My point to smokers would be to do it away from the rest of us.
And Spoony, same for you. If I am to get iver myself, you should do the same.
