Well said flat-spot. I don't smoke around people (or at least professional acquaintances) that don't themselves light up, and so obviously I wouldn't "inflict" my "addiction" upon an FO (if I had one).

Having said that, I don't curb myself due to some dubious "health" issues that have yet to be proven by even the loosest definition of the word, and I take a rather dim view of the crusading ninnies of the world who take it upon themselves not only to classify any behavior that they don't themselves engage in as "dangerous" or "defective" in one way or another, but to see to it that these behaviors are eliminated post-haste "for the good of all".

How bout *you* face it vertical speed. An inquisitorial attitude backed up with suspect "facts" toward people that don't live their lives in lock-step with your personal preferences is a Serious Disease, and one that Requires Treatment.
