I quit smoking at 19. I'm 31 now, and I do not miss the bad breath, the nasty taste, the cravings, the 13.50 a carton per week ($25 now, Christ), and the yearly bout of Bronchitis I got while a smoker. However I am disgusted at a culture that allowed such a dangerous substance to become so widesperead and encouraged addiction by glamorizing it to now turn on it and say " OMFG CIGS ARE BAD MMMK". If they really want to solve the problem make cigarettes illegal altogether and be done with it. I smoked a carton a week the last two years I smoked and I managed to quit. But this nitpicky away of making it hard to smoke is dumb...since you're not gonna stitch the wound quit trying to put little band-aids on it to fix it.
I agree with no smoking section in restaurants...food tastes better without smoke hanging everywhere. I think it's dumb as fuck in bars...there is nothing healthy about a bar in the first place. I expect a smoky bar when I go. Your car is your little slice of domain away from home and to be honest if you put your cig at the edge of a cracked window almost no smoke at all ever gets into the cab so the argument is kinda pointless. I would support making cigs illegal altogether since they're proven to be nothing but killers but failing that you gotta give ppl places to do things that are legal to do, and the best places are their own domains.
