I don't feel cigarettes should be illegal, but I do find it wretched that so many wind up addicted to nicotine by acquiring the habit from their apathetic parents.
But this said I feel smokers should never be allowed to complain. These people are socially allowed to have breaks every five minutes by other smokers in businesses and they have the nerve to complain about not being allowed to smoke in restaurants. I know people who are allergic to smoke and are de facto barred from many smoky restaurants. And these restaurant providers want smokers to have extra rights because they spend more. Probably because many of these smokers have an extremely flexible (I'd say liberal, but someone would take me out of context) definition of "need". What they really need is to quit smoking. And if they don't they should quit complaining. Same with overeaters who complain about unaccomodating theaters. How can we say capitalism is promoting responsibility when businesses are catering to overspenders who have deadly habits, thus encouraging their stupidity?
Screw whiny smokers! When are they going to invent a nicotine IV for these addicts so that they don't bother us anymore. At least then we wouldn't be getting the second-hand smoke.
