A fundamental difference exists between logic and negative energy. If our social standards are 'you have a right to do anything as long as it does not impose on the rights of others'; then we have only defined public smoking exactly in logical perspectives.

You want to do heroine? Fine. That is only your problem. You want to crucify your kids because you do heroine? Then it becomes everyone else's problem only because fundamental human rights are being violated.

There is no 'heaping of negative energy'. A logical fact denied by some smokers is that public smokers threaten the health of others; violate basic human rights of other people - only because they are addicted.

It is now a 'slam dunk' fact that smokers attack the health of non-smoking victims. She palmed the cigarette maybe because she does not want to be considered an addict. Just like a smoker who waves hands in the air to clear the smoke and says, "Look, I stopped smoking. The air is clear now." Denial rather than logic; as if smoking were not harmful to a smoker and his adjacent victims.

No negative energy. Just hard core, politically incorrect, and blunted stated facts.
