I absolutely refuse to put gas in my car. Thank God for New Jersey. Gasoline is dangerous and I have no idea why we should let people pump their own. I can't imagine how many people smoke while pumping their own gas outside of lovely New Jersey...

Gasoline is absolutely not that dangerous, at least relative to the risk involved every time one drives a car. For igniting gasoline fumes, a spark is almost always necessary. Realistically speaking, a lit cigarette has a better chance of setting a nearby trash can on fire than igniting the gasoline fumes. If a person were to spark a lighter to light a cigarette that'd be a different story.
