“I am. I’ve known cases of people being horribly burned or killed because some clown three or four units over went to sleep with a cigarette in his mouth. Nobody deserves to die for that sort of reason.”
Many fires are started by electrical failures, let’s ban electricity from homes! Space heaters are another cause of fires, we better ban them too! No one deserves to die by being burned up as a result of someone elses desires for electrical conveniences or their desire to be warm!
Wow, this totalatarian mindset is rather easy!

The idea of going through life without smoking first occurred to me when I was around 10 or 11 years old, something to do with watching half the adults in my neighborhood dying at age 50 - 55 from coughing and/or cancer if memory serves. Nonetheless over the years I've been in numerous situations in which me bieng the only person in the room not smoking was a limited asset, particularly government meetings in which everybody else was chain smoking for two hours or more, it sometimes took two or three hours for my eyes to start working again.
There are numerous things in life which I can actually sympathize with, but smoking isn't one of them. Don't ask me to feel sorry for smokers.
