Do I care if there are places you can go and light up inside? nope would not bother me at all

If the people who smoked, and there are quite large numbers still, organized, and set out to lobby, I'm sure you would make more of an impact. There are plenty of politicians who still have big tobacco money in their pockets. Write a letter, start a movement.

Oops! Maybe I'm not explaining myself! I truely don't advocate smoking! I advocate the right for fairness...but I wish no one would ever start smoking from this moment forward! If that were the case...sooner or later there would be no more smokers!

To us who are left with putting up with the shame and embarrassment of ever having started...Have we really "come a long way baby"?

Yes...there are advocates of cigarette smoking. I am in no way saying I am one of them! What I am saying is...I smoke, I hate it, I can't quit and I gave up trying till I have a sure fire way. And could you give me the courtesy that I afforded you in making a choice when we are mingling in public? I'm not an idiot and I sin no more than you do! Cast a stone and expect one back!
