Yeah, yeah, everyone bitches about second-hand smoke, but I don't see them leaving behind their cars and trucks and walking to work. I'm a smoker, but I don't particularly enjoy gas or diesel fumes...but I have to tolerate them, even though they pose a risk to my health (regardless of whether I smoke or not). I don't hear the anti-smokers bitching about non-cigarette related toxic fumes....

And I agree that the government should get over the extreme hiking of prices for cigarettes. It costs almost five dollars a pack for cigarettes, and LESS than five dollars for a six-pack of beer or a small bottle of liquor. What's up with THAT? Seems like the government is saying. "We don't want you to kill yourself slowly. We want you do do it quickly, and if possible, take as many people with you as you can."

While I smoke, I do not drink. However, I don't make it my life's work to villainize all drinkers. Yet, the same people who bitch about us cigarette smokers are the ones who go out on the weekends and get plastered, putting everyone else on the road with them at risk. I have only one thing to say to these people: I can smoke and drive without killing anyone.
