I smoke cigarettes, am well aware of the risks aswell as aware of how it effects others...
Since the european change in the law there are few who are openly flaunting it... In fact whenever a restaurant or bar had a no smoking policy before that there were few that I noticed that smoked in designated non-smoking areas.
Often though I would be standing in a public place and an anti-smoker would walk in my vicinity and cough while staring at me, when I offer a "Can I help you?" they then follow up with "You are aware how dangerous those are don't you?
But that was many years ago...
Now the same people give me the same behaviour when I use my phone too close to my children... So I'll do you a deal, I'll give up smoking if you are also willing to spearhead a campaign to ban radiotowers, cell phones, wi-fi and all the other things that get accused of harming others.
No actually I take it back because this is ridiculous. Are you suggesting we should revert to 19th century approaches of solving questions of social opinion? And if you believe we are discussing fact then you have missed how inconclusive much of the data is for passive smoking in adults.
