why hate?

these are evil.
so evil they should be banned to wherever they came from. banned, trampled underfoot, and made illegal everywhere.
those who use them should be shipped off to a gulag somewhere, or made uncomfortable for even considering using one.
is this right?

you cant cough nowadays without having someone mention that it is probably caused by a smoker. yes cigarettes are harmful (no shit, ITS SMOKE! lungs dont function on smoke). but is it truly harmful for me to enjoy a cigarette if i feel like releaving a bit of the edge throughout the day? i mean in the long run, yes. but is it harmful to you? do you develope cancer because you inhaled a wee bit of the secondhand smoke this afternoon? it takes a shitload of the smoky aftereffect of smoking to do any damage to a lung (unless your horribly asmatic, so to them i understand) but the rest of you... what is the huge problem??
lets make it illegal to smoke in bars! why didnt they just go, we would like bars to reserve the right to choose whether or not our patrons can ignite a cigarrete in our establishment? would it be so horrible? you could have bars for smokers, and bars for nonsmokers (we have singles bars, swingers bars, bikers bars, oxygen bars (?? it gets you high i guess) sports bars and regular bars) why go to the extreme of ILLEGAL? then well make it illegal in public areas (isnt that almost bloody everywhere?) because.... i dont know why i cant smoke in a park, there seems to be enough space and its in the open so the smoke goes up (it isnt contained so nobody will die from accidently smelling my secondhand smoke) into the air. oh, and lets remove smoking from the movies and tv. because? oh kids might think its cool. of course. why not remove instances where smoking is portrayed in a glamerous light in the movie industry instead of outright NO! people smoke, so why not have people in movies smoke? some kind of weird censorship at work there because cigarettes arent illegal (yet, im sure they would love it). but they are addictive! were just trying to protect you from you. BULLSHiT! i am informed and aware of the consequences, so let me MAKE A CHOICE! i just want people to get off my back for it.
I DONT NEED PEOPLE COUGHING ANNOYINGLY TO MAKE A POINT! if you dont like the smoke move away from me. simple. you dont have to be an asshole about it. its not like im walking up to you and blowing the smoke in your face deliberately, it just has to go somewhere. i smoke and generally im mellow, but motherfuck... it fucking sucks donkey balls when people treat you like a fucking criminal for it.
people are allowed to eat unhealthy food (McDonalds anyone?), drive vehicles that can kill others (CARS), consume mind alterating substances (ALCOHOL) and nobody has tried to stop and make all that illegal. so fuck all. im going to start a fucking cigarette speakeasy if this keeps up...
its just so fucking pointless and incredibly fucktastically motherfukin stupid.
