I don't like smoke and I don't like it when people smoke around me. That said I have plenty of friends and family who smoke. They are not bad people because of it. I still love them anyway. I do wish they'd stop. Everyone has bad habits...
I think the OP was just ranting - maybe next time they'll think twice about posting without thinking things through at all.
I wish smoking on the scale that people smoke nowadays had never happened. Even the people who smoke probably agree, deep down, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
