Actually I do not say anything and I do not fake cough. I do not hate smokers, it's not thier fault. They are smoking because they are addicted and cannot easily stop. It's easier to kick a heroine or coke habit than cigs.
Yes I know it's shocking but it's the truth. I just try to avoid SHS as much as possible as I don't want lung cancer.
The reason I am so extreme is because I have seen first hand what this destructive habit can do to someone and how it can entrap them and make them a prisoner. And how it slowly sucks the life and money out of you.
I smoked cigarettes for nearly 14 years so I do know how addictive it is. I also decided I didn't want to smoke anymore and I quit cold turkey years ago. Not exactly easy-but if one truly wants to stop one can. I don't buy into the powerlessness victim theory (but that's for another thread...)

ya i agree with you my brother quite drinking alcohol and smoking by himself no patches no AA.
The only problem I have with the notion of outlawing cigarettes is that "it's for your own good" philosophy. Our government shouldn't have to get involved with that. Smoking isn't a healthful practice, and everybody knows why. That should be the end of it. You want to smoke, go ahead and smoke until your lungs turn all black and crumbly. But you shouldn't expect any kind of help from anyone when your health gives out, because the decision will have been a conscious one on your part.
