I think that it is hilarious that so-called educated and informed people in this day and age, still try to justify smoking as anything other than a negative thing. Yes, there are lots of other bad things in the world too, but this one has absolutely no benefit, and harms others just by being in proximity.

someone against drinking could make that very same argument. Or vegetarians against meat-eaters. thankfully we live in a world that allows people the freedom to kill themselves however they want.
there are a great many things we do with no benefit. smoking has just as much benefit to those who enjoy it as any other thing you do. and as pointed out over and over again if you dont want to be around it you dont have to. there is no more smoking in public places and before people complain about having to walk past 3 or 4 smokers outside a building and it stinks well we should ban diesel trucks first then 'cuz they stink up the road driving by much more than smokers ever have.
