And your Tim's argument? That's a stretch. If you had left it a coffee I may have been tempted to grant the caffeine/coffee addiction (while I doubt the health effect are anywhere near as severe as smoking), but to include the 4 creams/2 sugar and a doughnut as if everyone who goes there gets that just made the argument inane.

Well that was kind of the point. It was a straw man arguement, much like Dion's govt controls dealie.
I was being facetious.
Anyhow, I'm a non-smoker, but I still think they are taking far too many steps to try and help the poor, ignoble and seriously stupid general population from smoking.

It's because smokers have been vilified for whatever reason. Not only are they harming themselves, but they've been vaulted from 'public nuisance' to 'public threat'.
There exists a double-standard in the world, and unfortunately for them, the smokers fall on the wrong side of it in this day and age.
