In your opinion.

I watched my much loved sister slowly kill herself, even with the advice of
her specialist and the advice from all the people around her that loved her
telling her that her smoking would kill her. But she couldn't kick the filthy
habit, and she died as a result.

She was a schoolgirl State & National long distance (running) champion......
till she started smoking because of peer pressure. In her late 20's she
developed severe asthma because of smoking.

She was in her mid 30's and a mother to two young boys when she died.

All because of smoking.

So if that makes me one of those (apparently much hated) "because we know
what's best for you" people, then so be it.

This "utopia" you speak of would be a place where no-one had a habit.

But all that aside, am I not *allowed* to have an opinion on smoking and
smokers??

Do I have to 'toe the party line' just because I'll upset the delicate
sensibilities of all you smokers and reformed smokers??

Is it because I am pointing out the truth that it is indeed a filty
disgusting *habit* that not many can kick because they are too weak??
