Personally I don't give a damn if someone smokes 80 cigarettes a day and kills themselves with lung cancer. I think they're a fool, but it's their free choice to do so. But when they choose to inflict their disgusting habit on me, then I do care.

I obviously agreed. It does explain why no one born in the 1940s when new fathers handed out cigars, is still alive. Second-hand smoke causes cancer. I grew up with two parents who smoked, bowling alleys were full of cigarette smoke, don't even think about going into a bar and I haven't figured out yet how we have politicians who are 80-years old like Rep. Rangel who started their careers in smoke-filled back rooms. Even outside, in a strong wind, it's deadly. Actually, seeing people smoke is dangerous.
Of course, HarryT, high-blood pressure and stress is dangerous, too.
