    Is there anyone left who doesn’t already know that smoking is bad for you? Prohibition is dumb and doesn’t work but it seems there isn’t much left to be done in the education department. I think it’s time we just let people make their own decisions and shut up about it. There’s plenty of other perfectly legal things that people fuck up their health with. I’m not sure why we talk so much about this particular thing.

      I mostly agree, but I would still appreciate more education, maybe more in areas like second hand smoke, so that smokers don’t impact everyone else with their decisions.

        I think people think second hand smoking is worse than it is in all honesty, especially outdoors.

          Barbeques are fine but spark up a cigarette in the garden and you have to worry about who’s health you’re harming? Daft.

            Absolutely, people have massive double standards and a poor understanding of gaseous dissipation in the open air.
