Perhaps nobody dies from secondhand Big Macs, but there goes that argument that non-smokers use about how they have to foot the insurance bills for smokers. You'll be footing the bill for the fat guy, too, but nobody yells at complete strangers about over-eating. Believe me, the government is making TONS of money off of smokers.

I personally don't want to smoke, but if you're over 21 and have made the choice to smoke, then, since it's not illegal, you should have every right to go ahead and do it.

And, yes, it is an addiction. Why else would you see people outside of office buildings and restaurants in blizzards or rainstorms or 100 degree heat, huddled around an ashtray? It's what they feel compelled to do. I am thankful for the laws that limit smoking because they have forced me to cut down consumption, which I believe will allow me to have an easier time quitting. Not easy, just easier.
