I expect so many more of those in this thread. Please, work on it.
All posters like that: If you can't do better, you need to re-check what the TFP aims for.
I am so SICK of this place turning into a run-of-the-mill shitass forum. Posts like this belong on Fark. Not here.
She asked a legit question about why smoking is such a targeted and socially beat-up addiction. Instead of such a "no thought required" one liner that doesn't even address the question, why don't you try asking yourself:
"Why do I hate smokers so much, that I transcend all normal levels of self righteousness when people even bring this subject up?"
Why don't you do that, and then maybe answer the lady's question in an intelligent manner. Or, hit the back button. Your call.

Allow me to join you on this, billege. I'm growing increasingly tired of the adolescent semi-trolling we seem to be seeing lately in responses to many posts, regardless of their location. It's as if we're seeing people respond inbetween bites of their cheeseburgers and are therefore incapable of thinking through a response without resorting to said adolescent responses and chuckling to themselves as if they've somehow just posted the funniest thing they've ever seen.
/end threadjack response.
Smokers are pariahs because we've been conditioned to think that way over the course of the past few decades. Changing someone's way of thinking doesn't often happen instantaneously. It takes time to drive a society from "I'd like to eat somewhere smoke-free" to a rabid, "Get your motherfuckin' cigarette smoke away from my SUV!!"
It's like water over a stone. A little bit at a time over a long period of time produces some drastic results.
