hate the tobacco not the smoker.
Tobacco addicts faster than any other drug.
A kid just trying it a few times to impress his friends or just to be in the group will soon notice that he now craves a smoke, and they will smoke even when they're alone.
If you were around during the days when doctors came on TV recommending that you smoke for good health, you would understand how your parents and grandparents got the way they are.
On my 14th birthday (1954), my father gave me a box of 50 cigarettes for my birthday present.
He said that now I am a man I should act like one. He was a good dad and believe tobacco was okay. There was no one voice any where, any media, any pamphets, nothing that said tobacco was unhealthy.
Aside from tobacco companies profits, goverments made (and still do) billions in taxes, so everyone was happy.
Then one day an American surgeon general told us it was a hazard to the health but tobacco companies said that was false and smoking is good.
It's only been the last 15-20 years that it's become an evil product.
Had this column been around twenty five years ago the question could not have been asked because altho non smokers existed they did not despise smokers. It would have been like posting that you despise people who have ears. It just would not have been an issue
