Why is it socially acceptable to single out smokers and not other groups who indulge in unhealthy habits??
SB, good point. I am a non smoker and personally I don't care if someone is smoking as long as he/she is not blowing smoke on my face. My roomie is a chain smoker and I don't have a problem with it. Maybe there is a reason for smoking being seen as sin. In olden times, people had a more active lifestyle and hence did not have much obesity related problems. So smoking and drinking were seen as unhealthy practices then. And all religions and societies generally see these as vices for that reason. And today's society is really incompetent in terms of reasoning out and breaking the religious norms that are more or less obsolete and irrelevant.
