We'll have to agree to disagree. I believe someone coming in contact with second hand smoke is a victim of circumstance, but someone doing the actual smoking did so on their own free will.

I'll repeat this again in the hope you'll reflect on it: your statement suggests you do not understand addiction.

Addiction subverts free will.

Smoking is no less a serious form of addiction than any other you can imagine, the only difference is the consequence to other people is curtailed in comparison.

Agree to disagree as much as you want: you come across as plain ignorant in the eyes of anybody who understands the issue.
