Dear stupid people smoking inside the bus shelter:

82. Interesting study, all about just particles, the weather is cool today so there is no climate change

you can stand at a bus stop and claim the vehicle in front of us is not emitting shit into my lungs all you want and a guy standing ten feet from me with a cigarette will result in my certain death, it doesn't mean anything to me because I can smell and feel that "pure clean" exhaust enter my lungs. and if I am in a garage with a diesel engine running it will kill me regardless of your believe it is more harmless than three burning cigarettes (and someone smoking three cigarettes will kill me even quicker than that according to you also apparently), sure, I'm sold. Petrol addiction is healthy, got ya.

The answer to my original post above appears to be three cigarettes burning in the ashtray of a car would suffice to aid my suicide, I stand corrected, I had imagined you thought it would be two of them, I was a bit off.

The issue was never "is smoking healthy", or even more appropriate to the conversation, "is someone smoking near you healthy"

Of course it isn't! Neither is burning diesel or gasoline! You are the one trying to claim one is relatively harmless, exhaust is far far more abundant in the air and our petrol addiction is killing an entire planet! I advocate neither! you are in denial about one of them a rather strange denial at that.

My point has been and always will be how one treats addicts, and the need of some to hate and vilify them rather than try to help them!

My God, how could you miss what I have been saying were it not willfully so?

I do not feel addicts are fair game to attack, I am of the unusual view they should be pitied and helped if at all possible! No wars on their addictions, no prison terms for addicts, no singling out for hatred and shaming of them, but rather simple compassion and TREATMENT.

This is why I dislike arguing with conservatives, compassion has no place and it is always about who is to blame and how to go about punishing them for having a disease.

I suppose you support the war on drugs as well that locks up those bastard addicts I used to council, plenty of pounds of flesh for you there, I suggest you join the DEA and get some pay back on those evil humans with that disease that should only be punished, addiction.

I don't think you will ever see what I have tried to explain to you, so, don't, move along and hate all you like, I have nothing to do with it and never could.
