I believe that it's your choice if you want to smoke. Heck I did years ago. But I also have a choice not to be clouded in second hand smoke if an alternative solution is available (like moving to another table at a bar/restaurant). I also have a choice to not want to listen to the gawd-awful "hack up a lung" coughing fits that are sure to come. (my late father had them and my youngest brother is following right in his steps), and finally, it is also my choice to not want to listen to smokers' regrets if/when they are diagnosed with a terminal ailment.
This is not meant to be a rant, but as we have probably all heard at one point in our lives: "What did you expect? You brought this on yourself!"

Anyway, I wish you all a safe and happy 4th of July holiday.
Let's not forget what the holiday actually stands for: OUR FREEDOM!
