However cigarette smokers so hate other's rights as to condom same kind of lies that also claimed the Ozone layer was not being destroyed. Half truths. We now have a fact. Second hand smoke is dangerous - 'slam dunk'. And based in science; not in Karl Rove propaganda.

Any public establishment that allows smoking condemns me - bans me - from that establishment. Smokers literally drive off healthy people only because of drug addiction and total disrespect for others. Would you point an unloaded gun at another? Of course not. So obvious that we don't need laws to ban that act - or at least should not. And yet cigarette smokers are so addicted (and therefore not logical) as to impose their addiction on all others.

You want to drag race? Fine. Go find a track where you do not threaten other's lives. You want to smoke? Fine. Build a structure for your drug addiction. No objection to a cigarette or heroine addiction. Problems start when you impose those additions on others.

You have no right to urinate in a urinal where others are eating. Urine vapors are not deadly. Meanwhile cigarette smokers have no problem doing something far more dangerous than urinating in the same room. It’s called practicing an addictive drug habit with complete disregard for the rights and health of others.

You want lower intelligence? Fine. That's your problem. Keep smoking. However you have no right to impose that penalty on anyone else.

Smokers need to understand what they are. Addicts. They are dangerous - just like BBQing inside the room - at the expense of other innocent people.
