Dear stupid people smoking inside the bus shelter:

[Dragonfli]

71. I don't smoke, but tell me since I also don't drive, how much more of YOUR smoke

am I forced to inhale as compared to someone's cigarette? The exhaust from a vehicle would seem to me to be an ocean of piss compared to a puddle of pee.

Seriously, compare the volume of smoke emitted from your car to that emitted from some addict's cigarette.

If you wish to be addicted to your gas sucking, drive in the privacy of your own home and stay out of public with that thing I don't like breathing in ten thousand times the smoke a cigarette user inflicts on me just from your driving by.

Somehow you do not feel the same level of hatred towards drivers when they are the actual problem rather than the convenient addict scapegoats you love to hate, hypocrisy much? You guys pretend that there is more pollution from cigarettes than there is from burning gasoline, are you blind or simply not very bright in this regard?

You don't have to make the bullshit implication that smokers are out to inflict their smoke on you, most will by habit, or when asked politely, refrain from doing so in your presence, the same can not be said of drivers.

I would like a study on why vehicle exhaust is not considered the major culprit in the effects of environmental smoke health issues and why the effects of that exhaust are conveniently all tied to smokers exhaust instead.

What is your argument? "my care farts perfume and oxygen". Or perhaps. "everyone knows a car emits far less smoke than a burning cigarette".

Take that exhaust pipe sized log out of your eye before playing self righteous avenger against the cigarette speck in your neighbors eye.

Ask politely, try even to offer advice on how to quit an addiction in the least painful way. Most smokers that are vilified as Satan will comply because they are people like you and not actually the embodiment of evil.

While your at it, please consider my polite request, "don't drive where your exhaust will enter my lungs", perhaps you will also comply like most addicts will, or so I hope.
