Why do addicts believe they have rights to what they are addicted to? Also, why don't people treat nicotine addiction like they do other addiction, such as alcohol, gambling, and illegal drug use? Just because you have an addiction doesn't mean you should get special treatment. Sorry, but your addiction directly affects me. I have a right to not smell like smoke, breath it in, or have my food taste like it when I eat in a public place. I was smart enough to not begin smoking in the first place. Oh, you say you enjoy it and that you could quit anytime, but don't want to? Bull shit. You enjoy it because you are addicted and if you REALLY did want to quit, you'd beat the addiction and go through the hell it takes to stop.

Smokers rights, HAH! Sure, you have a right to fill your body with shit, but once that shit overflows and affects me, the one who was smart enough not to partake in your bad habit, that's when my rights trump yours.

Unfortunately, this video won't really do anything to make smokers quit. A smoker can only quit when they really want to. There is no "trying" to quit, there is only "quitting". It's all about addiction. Just like those addicted to crack or alcohol. As you can see by the posts, smokers will just try to justify their addiction by saying things like "maybe we shouldn't drive cars because they pollute" or "that burns the cigs too hot". Then they get confrontational and down right hostile.

Yes, cars pollute, but a car driving by my house affects me a whole lot less than sitting in a room with a smoker. It's all about the concentration of particles in the air. Also, this experiment shows 2 boxes of cigs smoked crazy fast to demonstrate a point. I belive that even if you smoked them slow, not down to the filter, and blew out most of the smoke, you would accumulate the same amount of tar over 20 years. In this experiment there were 20 packs (10 pack per box). If you are even just a pack a day smoker, you'd blow through this mess in less than a month. Don't even make anymore excuses to justify yourself. Over time, this WILL gunk your lungs.
