Smokers are very militant about their right to smoke and have no regard for anyone who doesn't want to breathe it in. A smokers addiction shouldn't force their habit on me. With a little common courtesy, a smoker could smoke and a non-smoker could be unaffected.

What pisses me off (even as a recently reformed smoker) is that you (and your militant anti-smoker people) have made it pretty much impossible for a smoker to smoke anywhere. If you are in a crowd, count yourself lucky that there is only one guy lighting up.
And smokers I would guess, on average actually die sooner than non-smokers and cost the health system far less than smokers long-term.
