    “Don't feel bad...its only for your own good. Also they are probably targeting said smokers because some have no regard whatsoever to other people around them. I saw a mother puffing smoke right around her kids while feeding them at a restaurant, if you see such people doing this to their own family how do you think they would act around total strangers?”

    “My previous entry had a typo. I don't care if people choose to smoke or not, what I do care is walking into a restaurant or public event and having smoke coming at me courtesy these ignorant selfish fools who cannot go smoke in their car or in a designated smoking area. I end up with a headache and my clothes stink of smoke. I now carry an air freshner and smokers smoking near me get the hint. Seriously smokers if you want to mess up your health fine, but I dont wish to be have mine at risk so maybe before you light up look around and check that you in a smoking area and not in a public place where smoking is not allowed, puffing your life away.”

    “we are not trying to bring you down, rather we are trying to help you overcome this sick habit that is killing you from within. the problem is you not only harm yourself who chooses to smoke but also others who do not want to participate in the activity. it is because of the uncontrollable chain reaction that the people are trying to stand up and fight against it. all the other people you mentioned are not " off the hook " they too are being sought out to try and give them the help they need. at the end of the day it is not because we want to make you feel bad and hurt you, but to make you feel better and more confident and to help the society in whole!”

    “as a non smoker going in to bars and or restaurants and coming out smelling like an ash tray is very unpleasant. do we have to suffer to because of what you want to do. i hope beyond all hope that smoking is banned in public places as it has been in most western countries.”
