its all BS if you ask me!!! ok, shopping malls and office spaces i can do, but come on, out in the public open air and in my PRIVATE home, thats not being fair... i dont think there is anything wrong with smoking out in public and private homes as long as you are considerate to those around you, if there are people around you. people who are anti-cigarettes often get a bit too personal with this, not all smokers are the same. i try to be as considerate as possible, unless you piss me off then you WILL get a face full of SMOKE! and even as a smoker, i too hate the smell of second hand smoke, thats y i try to be considerate.

on the topic of it being an addiction, only a smoker will ever understand the psychology that they go thru. so those that dont smoke, really shouldnt speak like they know wht its like or judge smokers. ask anyone who has given up and they will not tell you that it was easy. but we shouldnt discriminate.. i may find alcohol really offensive but im not gonna stop a friend of mine from drinking...
