- Smoking -
I totally agree on her about the smoker's bad behaviour to smoke in front of other people, causing them to smell like smoke and not to mention exposing them to the danger of second hand smoking (something that she does not speak of by the way). It is ridiculous that they cannot think of other people when lighting a cigarette and even more so that they seem uncapable of not smoking for several hours. I know many chocolate addicts, and although is sometimes is hard for them, they are perfectly capable of not eating chocolate for several days. Of course, nicotine is a worse addiction than chocolate, but people have craves for chocolate as well as for cigarettes. Just try to be strong and don't grab a cigarette the instant you the thought of smoking one crosses the mind. And they probably don't smell the stench of smoke that surrounds them, but why can't they keep in mind that other people do? It's not more than normal than to think about others.

I do think that it has to be remembered that nicotine can cause a serious addiction and that it is not easy for people to simply quit. However, there is plenty of help for this these days and most importantly: they have a brain, so they should be able to think of others before lighting a cigarette.
