Poor, poor smokers. You know that nudists are discriminated against too. I think I would prefer nudity in restaurants to smoking, though. As an asthmatic, smoke causes me to gag. I don't think anyone has a right to pollute the air. If they could smoke and keep it all in, I wouldn't mind, but of course they can't. The air is public, and you don't have a right to foul it so other people can't breathe. Perhaps we need little personal bubble for smokers, so they could go around in a cloud of carcinogens? I'd be just fine with that. The mortality tables, afterall, would be really messed up of people stopped smoking.
