The TONE in which non-smokers talk about smokers, even in this thread,
Hellrider,
Same here. Though I have not smoked in a public place in many years, it is the tone of non-smokers, including my family that infuriates me. It is that superior holier-than-thou attitude I see in non-smokers. When at work I go outside to smoke a cigarette, I get these looks from passers by as if I were a pariah. I've seen kinder looks from passers by intruding on a drug addict's fix. I agree with all the reasons to ban smoking, I just wish there wasn't so much arrogance involved.
