They like you need to make their own decisions. If I were to return to the coal business and got black lung is that my responsibility or the customers that I'm serving?
First of all, what you wrote is nonsensical, but I will try to interpret...
I don't need to make decisions for other people. But part of living in a civilized society is to recognize and then ameliorate the risks to our fellow citizens. So, when we learn of a serious public health risk, we generally try to remove it in order to protect everyone who could be harmed by it. That's what we do. We don't ignore it. We don't pretend that it's okay to poison the people around us because a minority of our citizens want to enjoy their weak-minded addictions.
I'm really sorry that you are so controlled by tobacco that you can't help but advocate for killing the people around you who don't smoke. It's really, really sad that you are in that state of mind. I can't imagine giving any addictive drug so much control over my life. You must be miserable inside knowing that you have no control over your own addictions, and even worse, that you are so lost that you want to be allowed to poison others.
I hope you get better and beat nicotine. Surrendering to your vices because you don't have the willpower to quit is such a terrible way to live. It's definitely going to kill you at some point.
In the meantime, while you fight your inner demons, smoke at home.
Nope, their choice to work in an environment that allows cigarette smoking
Your choice to enter a business that allows cigarette smoking
I have decided to appease all of you non smokers who are so much better than I am, I will compromise with you on this issue.
I will quit smoking in public when all of you quit breathing in public.........deal?
PS ~~ Preach at home.
I smoked most of my life and it took me many times to quit and I finally quit for good. I never smoked around non smokers though. I thought it was rude. I guess that was just me though.

I don't smoke around non smokers or those who are allergic but I get tired of the non smokers who like to preach to me about the choices they have made to walk into a business that they "know" allows smoking.
If you don't like it go somewhere else and quit preaching at me and quit telling me what a terrible person I am.
The fact that I smoke has nothing to do with who I am, it is simply a habit that I have and I choose to continue.

No one ever preached to me when I smoked. And no one ever made me feel like an outsider. But smoking isn't a habit, it's an addiction.
Ok, so tell me how popcorn and milkshakes harm others.
Firstly if you place yourself into an environment where people are smoking that is your responsibility. Secondly, these bans like the smoking ban are in the name of public health.

What does this have to do with milkshakes like I asked
