(55,981 posts)I do have to say that a close friend of mine quit after many years. He said if smoking just shortened his life, he would have continued. But when he saw the, sometimes long drawn out, terrible deaths that some smokers suffered, he decided to quit.
And I am not very sympathetic of smokers having to take their smoke outside. I remember many years of having to take my young family to restaurants that were smoke bongs. I remember one time we asked for non-smoking and the waitress walked to a table in the smoking section and removed the temporary "smoking" sign that was sitting on the table. Also, I remember standing with a crowd of other non-smokers waiting for an opening in the small non-smoking section while the larger smoking section was half filled. Honest, I am not bitter. Just sayin.
