SC, there are FIVE counties who are joining in on this. It's absurd. And how is smoking a "sin"? Is there a commandment that I am not aware of?? Am I supposed to mention how many Marlboro Lights consumed next time I'm in the confessional? It's ridiculous.

Look, everyone who smokes knows that they shouldn't, and I would think that most would like to quit (at least I do). I have no problem with limiting where you can, or when you can, but I have no idea why smokers are always given such a hard time.

People have no problem going up to complete strangers and asking them why they smoke when they KNOW it's bad for them (in the condescending manner of a non-smoker, btw). However, I don't think those same people would walk up to an obese stranger working on their 2nd Big Mac and ask them why they're indulging themselves at the risk of a massive coronary. Why is it socially acceptable to single out smokers and not other groups who indulge in unhealthy habits??
