Actually, I could make a pretty compelling argument that being dumb is a lot more dangerous to other's health than second hand smoke
But I wasn't going after you, DWB - I understand there are people who don't like smoke - and even some who are allergic to it. (As skrinkladoo stated, the whole second hand smoke issue is not as cut and dried as the anti-smoking forces would have you believe - google for the voluminous World Health Organization study that *disproved" the argument about second hand smoke and cancer, which was deep-sixed at the insistence of the US - but I'm not here to argue that point.)
My point is that I don't condemn, for example, all people who own guns - even though someone with a gun could be *very* hazardous to my health. I know people who I like very much who own guns, and people who I think are morons who own guns. But I wouldn't dream of saying "gun owners all think".....or "gun owners have no fuckign (sic) respect". Some people like Fucksakes, though, just think they can categorize all smokers and condemn them as a group, because they don't like smoke --- and because they have a need to rip on *some* group, and smokers are now considered "fair game" as a group.
