I don't smoke, but even if I did it is none of you damn business to tell me (or any other smoker) how to live.Originally posted by: dman
You shouldn't smoke, it's bad for you. I just wanted to let you know, because you may not have heard.

It is not your body so don't tell a smoker not to smoke. If he/she is smoking where they should not be, then it is ok to say something. Otherwise keep your mouth shut and live your own life.

Sorry bud, but I have to disagree with you on this.
When my wife was pregnant, I asked a man to step away from her so his smoke would not be around her. It made her sick. This bast@rd got in my face and told me that he was outside and he could smoke anywhere he d@mned well pleased. I explained that she was pregnant, he said SFW. We had been on the park bench for about 20 mins when he walked up and lit up and stood there.
When I began to get lound with him, he told me to STFU. Just as I was going to "convince" him that it would be in his best intrest to move, a cop came up and wanted to know what all the noise was about. I gave him my story, and the guy said that he had walked up to us and lit up, he did not deny it. The cop basically told him to move his arse or else I could file assault chages against him for my wife. Whether or not they would stick would be up to a judge, but he would earn a trip to the Marietta Jail for the night.
@sshole moved and, we thanked the cop, whose wife just happened to due any day then.
Smokers affect us all whether you want to believe it or not, your nasty habit affects everyone around you.

You're right. Smokers should keep smoking since they:
1) die earlier so we save on medical costs and
2) pay a lot of taxes on cigarettes.
So keep on smoking people.

How about if he was sitting there by himself on the park bench and you and your wife decided to stand by there. Would you then tell him to move?

1. Save on medical costs? I think you're neglecting the medical costs incurred from the time they start having medical problems associated with smoking until they die.

I am a smoker, but if my smoke is bothering you, just tell me and I will either move or put it out. Not all smokers are rude and inconsiderate

When your rights begin to infringe on my rights, then you no longer have the freedom to excercise your rights. Example: You can swing your fist all you want, but that right ends right before it makes contact with my face, then I have every right to stomp your arse into the ground, or get my arse whipped trying. Either way, you will wish you had exercised a little more responsibility when persuing your rights.
