(40,656 posts)I LOATHE SMOKING! I WISH IT WOULD DIE! But then seven members of my family died of cancer from smoking right in front of my eyes and that matters to me. It is the basis of my HATRED for smoking. That and the fact that I grew up when people smoked in the super marker and everywhere else. I was a minority then, ignored and ridiculed for not smoking and asking people to stop around me. Now the smokers who have had their way for FIVE HUNDRED FUCKING YEARS have become the minority and are whining?! Really?!
People have the right to support this bill and say so without attack. People have the right to express their hatred of smoking. Don't agree but don't kick them around. Some of us have a fucking good reason to hate smoking. I don't have grandparents, a father, uncles and cousins because of this FILTHY disgusting killer habit. I earned my right to feel this way and I have the right to speak it without attack. Don't agree with me if that makes you happy. Block me. But don't tell me I can't speak out and don't call me a fucking nazi.
No matter what side of this argument you are on, if you smoke you are an addict.
