I smoke, and I'm the most considerate smoker you'll meet. I go downwind from people at gatherings, actually I avoid anyone who isn't smoking when I am. I also have this thing where I can't leave butts laying about when I do, I hate seeing them on the ground, on offramps, in parking lots etc. Ever been behind that person at a stoplight that opens their door to empty the ashtray ? Nice.
For the record, the job I had for a few years required me to enter peoples homes. I didn't wear cologne, carried gum and did my best to be smoke/odor-free on arrival. It's something about wanting to be presentable and respectful.
So the question I have, is that why would someone go to all this effort to not intrude on others lifestyles, and still have this urge to destroy themselves ?
I think that's more the issue. Smoke or don't, drink like a fish, eat shit for food, don't take care of yourself at all. Your opinion still counts, right ?
That may be going in the wrong direction, but to say whether it's ones right or not won't really get anywhere. People are going to do, what they will do.
