I wasn't actually referring to smoking with that particular sentence you quoted, but rather to the reason why it is important not just to accept our current reality and to work to bring about a better future. A large part of the reason for the decline of smoking is the negative reaction society has to it. The more it is shunned and looked down upon the quicker it will die out and the more permanent its demise will be.

Shunning/shaming people does not make them change. Teen pregnancy is down, too.

In a world where a simple smoking question can end like this.....

I keep hearing that too. I hope it's true but I must just be unlucky enough to always be driving behind them or they all live in my neighborhood. frown.gif

Work harder so you can move to a better neighborhood. Smoking is strongly linked to low income.

I wouldn't think that a neighborhood where the average house has a tag of over $300k as being low income. confused.gif But then again everything is more expensive up here.

I don't like hiking with smokers because they are usually too slow. However, I enjoy a good candy cigarette on summits. Hiking with farters is worse because they are usually too fast. That means they are usually in front of me, polluting the air with their fetid stench. And if they are carrying the water filter, they don't bother stopping at streams when I run out of water. I've stopped hiking with farters. And there should be a state law against farting within 25 feet of a door, and no farting indoors, and no farting on trails, and no farting in restaurants or bars. I think it's ok to fart in casinos though. Studies have shown that farting is inversely proportional to income.

I heard that Mt Rainier Nat'l Park was going to build a wall around Van Trump Park, and they were gonna make car drivers pay for it.

If you're smoking dope, a pinch hitter pipe -- shaped like a baseball bat, fully enclosed) prevents accidental ejection of burning material, much safer than an open pipe.

Some people have better things to do with their lives than walking the dog. Some don't.

People who shun others should be shunned. tongue.gif I like the comment posted above that claims change is brought about by people being whining crybabies and committing crimes against people doing anything they don't like. If you put on your big boy pants, or big girl pants, and act like an adult, apparently your maturity is destroying the world, because when you tolerate something, you are actually promoting it. dizzy.gif This thread is a perfect example of why so many sane people are leaving this website, allowing the ratio of crazies to go through the roof. One day soon, the only people here will be attacking smokers and advocating killing trail maintenance people who put a few stones in a crappy trail only a loser would hike anyway, then posting the name and the photo of the person they want to die. shakehead.gif

And they'll be riding unicorns while claiming to be an "idealist".
