Ive never been a junkie or a coke freak so I cant compare, but I have quit smoking, it only took me 20 years. My issue was I kept justifying in my mind that cigarette studies are simply not proof positive. I was an idiot for thinking that.
The fact we are talking about "inconsiderate" smokers is simply that they themselves buy into the same theories you do, and I used to.
The fact we still have smokers is amazing considering all of the EVIDENCE it will kill you and those you love from your second hand smoke, after all it isnt nearly as addicting as coke or junk.

Please explain how me not thinking cigarettes are as addictive as coke has anything at all to do with people smoking in doorways?
Does being addicted to smoking make people inconsiderate?
What theory am I buying into?
I know cigarettes are addictive and I know they cause cancer. But how can you keep linking that to the place people choose to smoke?
Is smoking 3 feet from the door somehow help them get a better nicotine rush vs smoking 15 feet from the door (the legal minimum)? If not there is no link. It is just that they are lazy and inconsiderate. How addicted they are has nothing to do with where they stand.
