Hence, the stories from Japan of suicides by hibachi. In vans.
If the Surgeon General's report on the danger of secondhand smoke was anywhere near accurate, we could reasonably expect that firsthand smokers would drop dead about halfway through their first pack. It's a colossal lie, and this is clear to all but the most diehard nanny-staters.
Not only is it none of your business how other adults live their lives, declaring them "pitiful" is beneath contempt.
This is quintessential collectivist thinking.
Marginalizing and dehumanizing people who aren't living their lives exactly under your terms is the pitiful thing.

Well, Fox News had on several times the other day that there is a population explosion! There are 3 hundred million people on earth and rising. So...............if smoking and second hand smoke is killing everyone, how can this be true?
I believe this blows a big hole in the anti's diatribes!!!!!
