Such anger and hatred seems misplaced in a sentence calling for decency and respect.

I thought the number was high. There's no way almost 1/4 of the population smokes. In my circles, I'd say 10% tops.

Statistically speaking, I am willing to bet that "your circles" are not representative of the entire US.

In "my circles" its nearly 0% and that isn't a good measure either.

YES, those anti-smoking surely are narcistic pigs.

Something you seem to know so little about.

Wny would you say such a stupid thing as that. Skanks violate individual and societal "rights" wholesale on a continuous basis, and we aren't supposed to be angry? To hate the wholesale violation of rights? And that somehow makea a call for respect and decency inappropriate?

Do you even give a seconds thought to such gibberish as you posted, or does a silly notion hit you and you just have to type it out, even without a moments thought to see if it makes sense?

Dismount from that highhorse, Mr.

Seems to who? You? Another high-horse rider. Dismount before you fall.

Another case of you've got it completely wrong. People NOT wanting to be assaulted are NOT the narcissitic ones. Pigs who don't give a sh*t about others (probably you) and will fill the air others are breathing with their filthy effluent, are the narcissists. Perhaps you should aprise yourself of a word's meaning before you go off and embarass yourself again as you just did.

The bluer the collar, the lower the educational achievement and the less the annual wage, the higher the likelihood of being a "smoker".

It is the crutch for the weak minds so commonly found among the skanks.

LaTrang, you must have lost someone you love to lung cancer. I can see that there is a lot of pain in your posts.

The problem is, no one has the right to tell another person what to do. I'm sorry that you find smokers so distasteful. They really are not bad people and they are not pigs as you would imply.
