You say waitressing shouldn't count, and then in the next breath(pun intended), you say how she could get sick because of it.
She could, if people are allowed to create an unhealthy working environment for her.
How many people die from logging?...How many people die from secondhand smoke?...I'm guessing the second one.
How many people die from secondhand smoke?...How many people die from firsthand smoke?...I'm guessing the second one.
Any argument is moot because you are not going after the core of the problem. Only punishing the ones who've been sucked in by that core.
I don't even know what you're trying to say here.
It's like you're saying, "Smoking is wrong, and I'd love to have it banned, but since that won't happen, I'll just punish the addicted themselves."
Telling them to wait until they're not in an enclosed public space is punishing them? If an alcoholic is in McDonalds, are they punishing him by not having beer on tap?
Abortions?...No problem....Make drugs legal?....Why not?...Sex & Murder on TV?...No one is offended...Sex without commitment?...step right this way...
Smoker?.....OH MY GOD!; IT'S THE DEVIL HIMSELF!...DIE HERETIC!
Well, without getting too off topic, none of the first things you mention, if done by someone else, will harm me. If someone smokes around me, it DOES harm me.
