ORIGINAL: flogger Now at the dungeons or anywhere else, I can only be a hater for smokers, sorry but it's true. Pretty strong words old chap. hating people smoking inside where there are non smoking is understandable. I'm a smoker and hate being a room filled with cigarette smoke (strangely I enjoy the fug of pipe and cigar smoke). To hate smokers over all even those who smoke in their own home, in a place set a side for them or outdoors Is like someone who hates all Muslims rather than those radical militant ones who want to destroy non Muslims. I actually understand your thrust though as I have a strong disloke for a few things but hate? No hate is toom strong a word. You lost your Mother from throat cancer. My condolences for your loss. I lost my Father from pneumonia as a by product of throat cancer and yes he was a heavy smoker. I don't not blaim tobacco and certaibnly not smokers, he mad a choice to smoke and that was his right to do so as it is with every smoker. You made a choice to quit smoking and that is your and every other person who has quit smoking's choice. My wife made a choice not to start smoking and that is her and every one who has never smoked's choice. You can not rationally hate every person who makes a choice for which you are apparently hard ased against. You do demonstrate what has been known by many in that a recycled smoker, I.E. a smoker who has quit, are the most militant and even prrhaps the mopst radical anti smoking campaigners about.
