I think PN is way cool. Having said that.... no. Smokers are not Indian untouchable caste-victims. They aren't even unclean-while-menstruating weird African tribe women. This isn't something they are born into, inescapable as class or gender. They are people whose habit has been outvoted and now they have to do it outside. Suck it up or quit. Don't try to turn them into baby seals being clubbed to death by heartless hunters. Come on now.

They are people whose habit has been outvoted and now they have to do it outside.

So if someone can get enough people to vote that people shouldn't be allowed to spend their time on online boards like FR, tough noogies for us, cause "we've been outvoted"?

Gee, so an action, say homosexual behavior, can be banned if the majority says so? It should be firmly stuffed in the closet, never to be allowed in public places? How nice of you.
