It makes you look tired, even old. It stains your fingers and penetrates your clothing and your home with a vulgar smell. It blackens your lungs and puts you at high risk for cancer. It seriously annoys people around you (especially when they are trying to enjoy a meal).
Smoking is gross. I searched my vocabulary for a more sophisticated word but nothing really captured the sentiment as well as "gross." As we sat and attempted to eat our breakfast this morning at our local greasy spoon I was amazed at the number of people lighting up around us. After all of us began to lose our appetites and were developing headaches, we decided to move to a back table. (Stan let our waitress know that we weren't interested in exposing our kids to lung cancer at such a young age.)
Smoking in public--a long overdue debate topic. What do you think?

Kia Ora (Hello) from a krazy blogger down under in New Zealand. It took a while, but smoking is ban in public places, hotels, food places, even the casinos. Mum said if God meant you to smoke, he would of put a chimney on your head. Great blog, I'll be back...
Thanks for the comment Kelvin! Your Mum sounds like a smart lady!
Been around the stuff all my life, but still doesn't mean that I enjoy it or appreciate it. Smoking...or the effects of it I should say...killed my grandpa. It's slowly killing some of my family as well.
I think many of the coastal states are brilliant in banning smoking from public places. Hoping the Midwest will catch on REAL SOON!
I found your site while "link hopping" from a friends page... I heard a quote once that popped into my head when I read this...
"Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool"
