Actually it's because they don't have an adverse effect on passers-by.
To Master shake:
Whats up with your continual analogies to black people? What the hell have black folk got to do with smoking? Are you trying to make smokers out as a persecuted minority?
I have to say, I find your arguments to be flawed almost beyond common sense. Elaborate and ultimately irrelevant analogies, and use of the "you can't prove it so I win" technique are among several logical fallacies of which you are a chronic repeat offender. I refer mainly to your input in this particular thread, and attribute it to your being stubborn about this subject, which is fine, but makes an unconvincing argument.
As for making the point "smoking is cool, therefore I should be allowed to inflict it on everyone else" and then going on to explain to another poster that coolness is entirely subjective.... well, I dont know
where the hell you're going with that one.
Clearly you can't be swayed in your opinion, so I will stop trying, but I do think your argumentative technique could be... revised. At the very least. I think you have poor form.
My good man, you are what I call "a smoker", and a fine example of why I despise them
So smoke happily while you can, I'm afraid the scales aren't about to tip in your favour.
