I think they should be allowed to smoke wherever they want as no smoke escapes into the atmosphere that other people may want to breathe.

Just let them light it, suck it in, and hold their breath forever, and all of us non-smokers and especially ex-smokers will not complain in the least.

See how easy it is to get along when you compromise?

Heterosexuals= 50% spread

Lesbians= 0% spread

Gays= 100% spread

For obvious reasons about how STD's spread.

Secondhand smoke might eventually lead to serious health problems after decades of exposure.

An STD can give a death sentence after a one time deal.

Smoking harms others.

Being gay harms no one.

Being gay does not spread disease - any reckless sexual activity or iv drug using spreads disease.

Tough question.
