Smoking should be illegal. I'm kind of serious about that. [None of my friends or family members smoke. The ones who tried to sometimes be "social" or even "stress" smokers were immediately chastised by me when I found out. I got quite a few of my colleagues to stop smoking because I would join them and playfully heckle them during their smoke breaks. "Take a breather instead of a smoke. You're killing yourself."]
If people want to smoke, they should be forced to do so in their cars with other smokers (and no children) or in the dark alleys of establishments. Oh yeah, and at home but only when smokers are by themselves or around other smokers (and, again, no children).
Point being, smoking is potentially deadly and somehow it is still legal whereas other things that are arguably less harmful are illegal. Unlike alcohol consumption, I argue that there's no "moderation" with smoking. So if you want to kill yourself, have at it. It's when you want to harm and kill others that I have a huge problem.
