So, if you don't want to pay for the health care of smokers, why do you "think" that others should?

I don't like the smell of conones, perfumes, and BO. When you can produce the very first scientific proof that second hand smoke is HARMFUL to others, THEN you will have a case against second hand smoke. But, not until that time.

Oh, I see, you mistakenly "think" you have a right not to be offended.
