    Bro, I don’t care if you kill yourself with tobacco or by jumping from a high place. You’re free to do what you want. I just shouldn’t have to breathe that nasty shit with you. Smoking is like masturbating. I don’t care but you shouldn’t do it in public spaces.

      Okay, how about we compromise? How about I just put up a sign that says “if you don’t like the smoke, get the fuck out of my bar” and that way, you can just choose for yourself whether or not you’d like to give the place your business instead of expecting everyone else there to bend over backwards just to accommodate you?

        Smokers are a minority. Far more people are non-smokers than are smokers. Bar owners who cater to smokers are shooting themselves in the foot. Lots of people who like to drink, dance and party avoid bars because they don’t like smoke. Hawaii banned smoking in all buildings open to the public and within 100 feet of the entrance of any building open to the public. Not one bar or nightclub was forced to shut down. The idiots were just forced to poison themselves in private.

          Wrong. Actually, most club/bar owners really don’t want people like YOU there, because nobody wants you pestering their customers and driving people away.

          Lots of people who like to drink, dance and party avoid bars because they don’t like smoke.

          ^ See, here’s how I know you’re full of BS: I live in a major vacation area and there’s only one single non-smoking club in the entire city.

          Hawaii banned smoking in all buildings open to the public and within 100 feet of the entrance of any building open to the public. Not one bar or nightclub was forced to shut down. The idiots were just forced to poison themselves in private.

          Then move to Hawaii. I know I’d feel better if people like you were stuck on an island hundreds of miles away from the mainland where you can’t bother the rest of us.

          Also, I’d like you to know that every time I encounter an annoying Smoking Nazi like yourself who love giving holier-than-thou lectures about smoking, I instinctually light up a cigarette while they give their anti-smoking lecture, and I intentionally blow the smoke right in their face.

              23% of Americans smoke which means 77% do not smoke. Smokers are clearly a minority. 29% of US males smoke compared to 17% of females.

              LOL nobody cares about your ‘research’, shut up nerd.

              You can poison yourself or masturbate covered in scat but do it in private.

              I’d rather not know what you do in private with your scat, pal, and the fact that you’re comparing smoking to a kink of yours is very weird.

              No one wants to see or smell that nasty shit.

              Well see, that’s the thing - I enjoy it when Smoking Nazis like yourself get annoyed by my smoking. So if you are one of those people who go around lecturing strangers about smoking, then right off the bat I’m incentivized to smoke around you.

              Yes. I am that petty.

                Cigarettes and cigars are phallic symbols and it’s become obvious that you are very upset by the idea of not being permitted to express your love for putting small penis shaped objects in your mouth in public. You can express yourself and your sexuality without poisoning yourself or others in public. It’s 2025, you can wear a shirt that says you love the penis. You don’t have to hide who you are.

                  Ah, so you’re not just a Smoking Nazi, you’re also a homophobic bigot. That’s not helping your case at all, but it does make sense - You know who else hated cigarette smoke? Hitler, that’s who.

                  Anything else you want to share? Maybe a dog whistle, or a “roman salute”? Hell, I bet you could think up at least 14 words you’d like to tell me, eh?
