it's important to remember that these are everyday people who have fallen into an addiction that they desperately would like to quit but can't.
I do understand your anger though. It is very very annoying and harmful for everyone else around smokers and you are justifiably upset about that.
Instead of being mad at the bottom level people, you should be mad at the billion dollar companies selling people these highly addictive drugs that ruin lives.
Naah, instead of "forcing" people to drink with you, you ended up blowing way too much money on drinks for a stranger you just met because "you like their face", bet that person $100 that you could piss in a cup from across the bar, then when the bartender asked you to stop you asked her to "show you her tits", then punched the stranger you bought a drink for earlier because "you don't like their face", then after getting kicked out of the bar you call your ex at 2 in the morning proclaiming your undying love, right before driving wasted to get back home and end up t-boning some poor soul and putting them in the hospital.
Y'know. The standard type of stuff alcoholics do when abusing their drug of choice. But by all means, tell me more about how I'm the worst person on the planet because my cigarette happened to bother you a little, Mr. Chug-A-Lug. ๐
