I see no reason to be polite to someone who complains he can't force other people to breathe his cancerous emissions any more.

Making these people pariahs and social outcasts is one of the big things that reduced smoking so much in North America, and thereby saved a lot of people from the health effects of secondhand smoke from these selfish assholes.

Mods will probably remove your comments but I agree with everything you said.

I think the real issue here is this topic being discussed on HackerNews of all places.
