Rich, the only reason cigarrettes aren't outright banned right now is
the tobacco lobby still has enough money and clout to stop it. I am one
of those rabid anti-smokerists. I watched my uncle, father and mother
all die from smoking related disease, and buried my older brother when
he just dropped dead from a heart attack. All were heavy smokers, who
thought that "It won't happen to me" and "I am too addicted to quit"
You have just been lucky so far...
A total ban on cigarettes won't stop older brothers dropping dead
from heart attacks. We still see that 100% of us dies, sooner or
later. You can change the pie-chart, but it will always be a full
circle.

There are some really bad ways of dying, cancer, going demented,
non-fatal but severe brain-strokes and what have you.

Now we are focussing on smoking, but when it eventually gets
banned, what have we won? I don't see undertakers running out
of business.

This essentially proves my point - that antismokerism is a religion,
plain and simple.

No it isn't - it's simpler than that.
I don't want your stink in my face.
End of story.
