I absolutely agree that people should have that choice and that they do not have the right to decide that for others.
Do you? Really? So should people have the right to work in an office where smoking is allowed? Eat in a restaurant where smoking is allowed?
Sure, but smokers are now a minority. If the majority vote to ban smoking in the workplace and restaurants, there is no longer a question.
Smokers are free to smoke where others are not breathing.
And no one has the right to force me to smoke at my work or public places.
That's what I thought. You don't agree, at all, that people should be allowed to decide or themselves how much risk is acceptable. You want to decide for them. What you mean by - "I absolutely agree that people should have that choice and that they do not have the right to decide that for others." - is exactly the opposite: that people should decide for others and that individuals shouldn't have that choice. Are all your convictions this inside-out?
When a smoker lights up in a room with other people, he/she IS deciding for everybody else.
Don't you get that??
No one has said that smokers should be allowed to light up wherever they choose.
But you just said its a "crime everywhere".
Which is it?
Can't any of the RWs just stick to facts?
