Okay, wow. This thread has been through a lot.
My contribution is merely this: smoking (unlike race, sex, homosexuality, and other strawmen that have been raised) is for the most part a deliberate lifestyle choice. Choices (the result of the ways in which we use our free will) are the basis upon which we make judgments about people.
Therefore, as an individual choice, smoking is at the very least a legitimate subject for debate. The question of whether or not this particular practice is moral should not be dismissed out of hand, though we may have differing answers to that question.
