<p>Aegrisomnia, smoking causes harm to those around the smoker as well as to the smoker. Second hand smoke studies show that clearly. Yes, it is stupid to smoke given the numbers that very clearly show the damage smoking is likely to do. For those who see it first hand in their own families, it is even stupider. </p>
<p>But smokers still continue to smoke and they have their rights. I insist on mine and will not tolerate smokers where it is against the law, or on my property, as it is my right. You can consider me and anyone stupid for feeling this way, as it is your right, and I can consider you stupid for smoking and thinking about those who are against it the way you do. </p>
<p>I’ve seen several people die of lung cancer and COPD which were most likely caused by their cigarette smoking, and it was very ugly and painful. Sometimes things like that happen that are out of our control but to steer yourself that lottery basket is stupid when it is avoidable. These family members had genetics on their side for much longer and healthier lives, and they had to throw the smoking cards into the mix. Though I am sorry that they got lung disease, it is right out there that what happened was most likely avoidable.</p>
<p>Regardless of what you think, the law is siding with the non smokers rights not to be polluted by smokers’ smoke, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.</p>
