I'm a smoker ... soon to be an ex-smoker, God willing, as I am going to quit on January 1st. Got my Chantix prescription ready and waiting ...
Smoking is an expensive, dirty, harmful, nasty habit ... there is no way to argue with that, smoker or non-smoker. However, if that is all it was, a habit ... then we could all easily quit. It is not just a habit, it is an addiction, and nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known to man, worse the heroin or cocaine.
And, as a smoker, I have never once complained about laws that prohibit smoking in public places. I agree with them ... I should not subject anyone else to my secondhand smoke. It's selfish.
But, whether Obama smokes or not is HIS business and no one else's, if he does it in his own space.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
