Fucking rude honestly. I've smoked on and off for a lot of my life, having quit again now for 4 years. I've seen both sides but I really abhor the old 'it's a disgusting habit'. I can understand how it is, the smell, the yellowing of your teeth and fingers etc but just what's the point? Putting addicts down on your high horse?
You should just be pleased you didn't make a poor choice growing up and live your life. Let them kill themselves if they choose to never kick the habit. I firmly believe it's a human right, you can't force people into a style of accepted living. People really just want the world to be exactly how they perceive it should be and have zero tolerance for anything they don't like.
It's just more people discriminating against others for bullshit reasons.
