Please smoke more!

First of all, the people who are smoking are adults and responsible for their own health and decisions, not to mention pocket books. Unless they've been hiding under a rock the past few years, they realize smoking is dangerous to their health. They also realize there are resources to help you quit. The advertising campaigns out there do a pretty good job about getting this across. So I see all these discussions on here encouraging people to quit and getting into the entire health debate. I figure if they are not smoking around any one else that could be bothered by it or in doorways (where we non-smokers have to walk through) then let them. By smoking they are funding the public education system with their taxes (at least in Texas). They are also lowering the likelyhood that they will be around to collect on their portion of social security. Since that system is failing anyway, the less folks collecting on it the better. Yes, that might seem a little cold, but these folks are adults and enjoy their vices. When I smoked I sure used to enjoy it!
