I don't call non-smokers names nor say they are anti-social (well I kind of just have). I accept their choices and applaud their wisdom to stop or never have started. I just wish, non-smokers would show me the same tolerance.

Oh, dear, I'm sorry you feel like this! I don't think any of us intended to bash smokers, but quiting is so hard, and it gets tremendously easier when you convince yourself that you are defeating an personal evil enemy, smok
ing.
Smokers aren't anti-social (believe me, I'm the girl who lost all her social circle at work when she quit), but smoking...well it is an anti-social habit. It kills, you, me, everyone around us. It imposes a weight on the health system, since smoking related diseases are so common. It stinks (come on now, it really does!).
I do respect you, and many, many other smokers, otherwise I would also have to hate myself for having smoked. But bashing the habit is, for me, necessary. Just like I'm currently bashing over-eating and under-exercising...but one demon at a time, please!
