I learned when I was very very young dealing with my parents that you cannot have a logical conversation about a topic, when that topic is something the other person is addicted to.
Then the other guy says smoking is ok because of car pollution? My god, that's like I don't deserve a speeding ticket because one time I saw someone driving faster than me.
I'm glad there is a social stigma attached to smoking. It says you can't be that bright and don't have much self control.

I don't smoke and never have. I think it's great that smoking is banned in indoor public establishments, and I think it's great that less people are smoking now than ever before. But at the end of the day, I think it should be up to the individual whether they want to smoke or not.
Smokers have gotten more than their share of abuse and public policies changed to make their life difficult. Smokers get taxed and ticketed like crazy when compared to other vices that are deemed more acceptable by our society. Drinking alcohol and heating unhealthy food are two examples that get a free pass in comparison.
