Had you lived 50 years ago, you would have thought nothing of it, now the fashion is to be rediculous abut second hand smoke.

In other words it the sheep mentality, which clearly you are subject to.

What stupid logic is this?

Many more years ago it was ok in some countries to have slaves, doesn't make it right.

No one said it was right, we are talking about stupid attitudes of sheep.

I don't smoke, but I don't go into raptures when I see a smoker, or smell a smoker.

And still your logic makes no sense. You claim that many here are voicing their distaste of smokers because, it's fashionable????
Just maybe they are saying they don't like 2nd hand smoke because it smells bad. If enough people say it then maybe its true.

1249425 2011-12-19 20:58:00 Just because lots of people say something does not make it a fact.

Look at religion for example.

What if it was backed up by scientific evidence? I could find some if you want but I am sure that wont be necessary as you can't be seriously saying smoke and the smell is pleasant to the senses and everyone that doesn't like it is delusional.

Smoking is a physical thing. It is the burning of a leaf that produces smoke, this smoke is inhaled and exhaled by a person. That smoke then is in the public space and anyone that comes into contact with it is either going to hate it, or like it. From the posts here it is obvious many don't like it. Those that don't like it are voicing their displeasure of being exposed to this.

Religion is nothing like this as it is up to the person to decide whether they believe it or not. Religion does not linger around and affect your senses physically.

1249427 2011-12-19 21:19:00 So many do not like it. Nowhere near enough people have expressed displeasure for you to come to the conclusion you have.

It's not a question of logic, it is perception, and to days attitude is different to yesterday because it is fashionable to think so.

You say something that is true about maoris and there are calls of racist, the fact is it is fashionable to agree with whatever is said, right or wrong.
