    Somehow, I think the anti-smoking campaign worked. When I started working at my department in 1970s, there were 36 smokers out of 50 employees. When I left five years ago, there was only 1 smoker in the entire dept.
    You mean rest of them passed away..eh!

    If you'd like to start a thread about the evils of drugs including alcohol and caffeine, I'd be more than happy to criticize those too. This just happens to be a thread about smoking.

    Alcohol is definitely a big problem but there is such a thing as drinking moderately without causing harm to others and it can actually benefit your health.

    Smokers are not scumbags, they're an annoyance and I am satisfied with simply having them excluded from public places. If people want to waste money and poison themselves at home or in the street, I can live with it. In fact, I love to see them huddled outside around garbage cans, it's a pretty pathetic sight and the best advertisement one can wish to prevent kids from starting up.

    I simply said that it was a stupid choice to start smoking and stated some facts. Now if you think it's a wise and informed choice and you want to try disprove those facts, go right ahead...

    I'm afraid that trying to excuse one bad choice by using the fact that people make other bad choices is extremely weak logic.

    Can't people be satisfied with answering the OP's question rather than giving another opinionated rant?

    No all, a couple of them did; some did retire, resign or fire.....but the majority of them just quit smoking. The replacements of those who retired, resigned or fired did not seem to be smokers at all. The 1 remaining smoker was the "leftover" from the old crowd......not a new employee.
