Smokers are easy targets, but so are fat people & no one's taxing junk food, butter, & sugar. In fact, they are a "special class", get special chairs if necessary at work. Okay, they DO provide ashtrays 20 feet from building entrances. In the meantime, smokers are banished to the far end of parking lots, provided no special smoking area, etc. In process of trying to quit, but don't really want to. This can go on & on, couldn't it?
