opinion of tobacco products.

Somewhere between 2 and 3.

Tobacco products are nasty and users tend to be assholes about their habits.  If you want to smoke on your property, then fine, but I sure as hell don't want to breathe the toxins coming out of the end of those sticks.  And don't get me started on chewing tobacco...

Anti-tobacco types are usually pretentious assholes. No one likes a prude. It would be fairly easy for people to stop bitching and go breathe somewhere else if they are really that uncomfortable.

I think people should be free to smoke in public, but the common practice of throwing butts on the ground is pretty annoying.  But I agree - the people who are strongly anti-tobacco tend to be more obnoxious than smokers.

People who litter ought to be recognized as a different group from people who smoke. Ash trays are usually full so its obvious that not all smokers disrespect the environment. I'm not claiming that you are someone who makes this mistake but I feel it is a point worth making.

Right - not everyone does it, but many (especially younger smokers) do.

How is throwing down a cigarette butt 'littering'?  Its biodegradings.

Everything biodegrades eventually.  Littering is simply disposing of a waste product improperly.  If you take a crap in the middle of the street, that's technically littering, even though it biodegrades.

I'm all for smoking being legal, but I don't think you should be allowed to smoke if you have children in your house. I don't care if the research on second hand smoke is unclear, it obviously isn't good to be breathing in. Not to mention the fact that it drains money away from families.

Is the research really unclear?  Are there studies out there that say that second hand smoke may not be harmful?
