Sorry but you seem to have trouble understanding the word

"bigot".

I was a smoker for 10 years until 18 months ago. I stopped. I don't give a s**t who smokes or doesn't as long as it's not in my face. I don't expect pubs (or even restaurants for that matter) to be smoke free. I still occasionally enjoy a cigar. I don't think smokers are worse than heroin addicts.

However, it is a particularly silly thing to start (worst thing I ever did was start smoking) and after a while it's not even enjoyable any more - you're just feeding a need.

I really don't believe anybody who says that they have smoked 10+ a day for more than 4 or 5 years and still doesn't regret ever starting in the first place, regardless of whether or not they plan to give up.

So - if you want to smoke, smoke. But I'd advise anyone considering taking it up as a hobby that it would be one of the worst moves they ever made.
