I’m not trying to guilt trip anyone. The self righteous superior people clearly dgaf what I think and the feeling is mutual.

… killing others by blowing smoke into their faces on the street.

Ah yes, the age old tradition of going up to a non smoker and blowing smoke directly in their faces. Fun times.

I’ve been a smoker for a very long time and I’ve never seen that happen, unless you count shotgunning cannabis, and that was always consensual.

Let’s get real for just a second. What you actually mean is occasionally you catch a whiff of cigarette smoke while outside. I’m sure you don’t go stand next to smoker, and I’m positive that they don’t “blow smoke into your face”.

Even in my backwards ass state, you can’t smoke indoors in public places, so it must be outside.

If you are so concerned about your health that you think simply smelling cigarette smoke and walking away will kill you, I sure hope you never leave the house, attend a BBQ, or go camping, because you will likely be exposed to other smells just as likely to kill you as that.

I have very little empathy for people…

That much is clear

Maybe start with empathy for poor people that struggle surviving because they are being exploited, or people who are systematically suppressed

Who says I don’t? Who says I don’t fall into those categories myself? Having empathy for one group of people does not preclude you from having empathy for others. I’ve never shot heroin or smoked crack, but I feel bad for people struggling with those addictions.

I don’t condone smoking indoors where non smokers live or around non smokers if they are outdoors and can’t walk away for some reason, I just don’t think someone should be treated as if they are human excrement simply because they are a smoker. You don’t agree, that’s fine as long as I’m not forced to be around you or have to listen to your sermons.
