here's some research for you:smoking makes you ill, and makes you smell bad
if you smoke your children will smoke, and become smelly and ill
HOWEVER, lots of things in this world make you smelly and ill, and some make you more ill than cigarettes
cigarettes are not illegal, so treating smokers like criminals is unfair

many of those things that make you smelly and illare precisely those things that have regulated maximum levels in the workplace, so as not to expose employees to too high a level of additional risk

Hmm.Smoking makes me poor and smelly, and if I do it too much it seems liable to make me ill. I only do it outdoors or when sharing a space with other smokers (e.g. smoking sections of pubs). I avoid doing it over bar staff and others because it's grotty and they aren't given the choice.
At the moment I'm not doing it too much and am successfully training for a charity run without coughing fits or being unable to run more than a mile or two.
If I had kids (god forbid) they wouldn't see me smoke.
On balance I reckon the pleasure I get from it outweighs the negatives (poor, smelly, danger of doom, social pariah-ness in some circles).
By 'research' I mean I might rootle out a bunch of scientific papers from both sides of the smoking=death argument and weigh things up myself so as to make at least a partially-informed decision.
Anyone particularly anti-smoking or particularly pro-smoking out there can think of a paper I particularly shouldn't miss, please Gaz me the details. I promise not to ignore it.
