Different point of view. Doing what you want is great. You are free to do that until what ever it is negativly impacts someone else's right to do what they want. You can walk anywhere as long as you don’t walk over others. You can drink as long as others don't have to also drink. And you can use tobacco/nicotine as long as no one else has to us it. Smoking in public puts others in the position of being forced to breath the smoke that needn't be present. Even if it's only one breath, one drink or being trodden on one time. Only the addicted "need" their fix. Do it in private or wear a patch or eat a nicotine gummie. Smoking is unnecessary and does no one any good.
Next?
