Like my smoker co-worker who has not worked for three months now
because he has to take oxygen due to diminished lung capacity from
years of smoking. Although I feel bad he is ill I don't feel bad
about taking his job since he put himself in that situation.

Does that make you an anti smoking troll zealot?

Seriously, if smoking kills, why hasn't the government just banned it?
Outlawed it totally? Made it a crime to possess and use tobacco?

If there was incontrovertible proof that tobacco kills and that second
hand smoke kills, then it would be banned.

BTW, you used to smoke, right? Nothing worse than a reformed anything.


Yes, I smoked. This means nothing. People need to take control of
themselves. Note how nice my complexion is now.

I may die from AIDS but not cancer. Good luck to you, TROLL.

The tobacco lobby is too strong for that to say nothing of the
comparison with Prohibition.
