Lol. The tailpipe exhausts, agriculture emissions and smokestack releases are genocide by that rational.

Seeing how battery is kind of a stretch, do you see obese people as homeless (because of ruining their bodies/sanctuary)?

I still laugh when I think of how much nicotine and coffee were consumed by NASA to get the space program going back in the day. I'm pretty sure intelligent people are/were aware of the dangers of their indulgences.

Smoking in confined spaces may not be recommended, but smelling smoke (from tobacco) in an outside setting should not warrant such an irrational response.

How would a very smart rocket scientist go about evaluating tobacco risk back in the 60's, presumably when the disinformation campaign by the tobacco industry was well underway?
Using the scientific method? Its use does date back to the times of the pharaohs.

I guess unless you've never smoked before, you may not be aware of the pleasures of a good cup of coffee and nicotine session.

I was in a good mood this morning and thought battery was an over-reaction. Karma says otherwise, if thats to be taken into account.

I'm also an avid golfer and cigarette use among some of the greats is/was no secret, so depending on your role models, smoking is just another vice adults can enjoy (in moderation, of course).
