Nice, a call for unity hidden in a bunch of poorly supported reasons why nonsmokers are wrong and bad americans.

Look, i don't care if we have to smoke outside. To me it's worth it. I haven't been deprived of my rights as a smoker, because smoking isn't a right. I have got a new "right", the right to go out to a bar and not have to constantly inhale smoke the whole time.

The fact that such a holy fuss has been made about this issue to me is silly. It doesn't fucking matter. I have a lot of rights that are much more important to me than ones that only amount to being matters of convenience, especially when i see the wisdom of their revocation.

This isn't the beginning of the end for american civil liberties. If you think it is, i recommend you go outside and have a cigarette and think about how insignificant a ban on smoking in bars/restaurants is. Smoking has been banned in hospitals for decades, and lo and behold, our american way of life has not crumbled. I imagine that you see the wisdom of banning smoking in hospitals(at least i hope you do). Banning smoking in private businesses that are open to the public is an extension of that idea.

I'd rather smoke outside than have submit myself to the bloodshot eyes and to the reek of smoke every time i fancy a trip to the bar. If you think that i'm stepping on your toes as then i suppose i am. I don't fucking care, consider your toes stepped on. I'll do it again if i have to, because really, making people smoke outside isn't a fucking big deal to me.

Don't blame the nonsmokers. Blame the fact that smoking isn't a healthy habit and that smokers don't seem to have much along the lines of political organization.
