115. You know what the irony of these arguments are?
...That I probably would've quit smoking 10 years ago had these goody-goody know-it-alls weren't around every corner, feeling free to dispense their browbeating at me for having this habit, then harping on some "health concern" while they chomp down buffalo wings and 6 Guinesses a night, before they drive home in their SUVs. I'm fully convinced that I still smoke out of spite.

Another irony is that until the 1980s, smokingwas allowed anywhere, and 50% of the people smoked in the 50s. By the EPAs own arguments about SHS, EVERYBODY in the US would be dead from lung cancer 20 years ago.

I don't hate non-smokers. I hate the sanctimony, and manufactured victimhood. They created Bill O'Reilly.
