They're incapable of it because they're addicts. They have no higher

functions when it comes to servicing their addiction. You might as well
politely ask a rabid pig not to bite you.

You're right about that one. Addicts will do anything for their next fix -
especially tobacco addicts since they think anyone will notice a little
smoke not realizing how it affects others around them.

So, why torture them when they're on vacation? They know the dangers
and I doubt if there are many who actually would NOT quit if they could.

A penny saved is obviously a
government oversight.

Dear Nonnymus,
As long as they don't impact my personal
enjoyment, people can do whatever they want to do
that is legal and I don't give a darn.
Cheers,
John in LALALand (On the Left Coast)

You're probably right but they seem to be the one's doing the torturing. I'm
only trying to be at peace & enjoy the cruise.

Actually I find cigars less offensive than cigarettes which tend to be
freebased (soaked in ammonia) to enhance addictiveness. Cigarettes, to
me, smell much more like burning garbage.

Cigars seem to have a stronger more intense odor and they are smoked
longer. Cigarettes are bad but cigars are worse for me.

That was the case with my father also. Decades after he quit, he said
he would go back to smoking if he had one.

I'm on vacation also and paying the same amount. Why should I have to
hide or have an asthma attack because of what they do?

All of which is sadly true but doesn't diminish the fact when 2nd hand
smoke became a killer, smokers for the majority did little to nothing to
self-patrol. Think of that.

First, it was intuitive (50s), then it was relatively certain (60s), then
is was undenibly a fact (70s)...now here we are in the next century and the
killers still bitch.

Tuff to quit, yeppers. Do I care, yeppers, sorry for you. Excuse? Not in a
lifetime, killers.

Horse****, they know damn well they are still being obnoxious with their
cigar smoke and they make the overt choice to use the shallow excuse "it is
allowed" as if this allowance somehow sanctifies their voluntary
manslaughter.

Bottom line: Smokers are scum and they trade the inconvenience of their
withdrawal for my life. Period.

Oh my gosh, lighten up, will ya girlfriend?

People who smoke are usually a lot of fun, actually. And, they're nice
people, generally speaking, and not out to get you.

They're addicted and very uncomfortable if they are trapped somewhere
without a smoke. It's not like they can go somewhere for a smoke when
on a cruiseship.

I don't killfile anybody. I mark them as time-wasting idiots who need to
take a breath and reconsider their Usenet actions.

To elaborate, my suggestion is that before posting you should give your
head a shake to determine if there is anything inside and to consider
whether you really wished to make the fact public.

Same for me. It has been 20 years since I quit but once in a while when I
am driving or when playing cards, I'll still reach for the pack of
cigarettes that I used to keep in my shirt pocket.

Old habits die hard.
