Not at all, most people at my college smoke and most of my mates do, those of my mates who don't and people I know in general who don't couldn't care less anyway.
I think mostly the attitude to smokers isn't that bad at all, like I said, my mates who don't smoke and others I know who don't have enough life experience and go outside enough to be able to realise that people smoke and saying things like 'I hate all smokers, they're disgusting and I hope they all die' just makes you sound like a bit of a Larry Lonesome. Of course, if you're surveying for opinion on an internet forum, alot of the people here may not have any friends outside of WoW, let alone any who do controversial things such as smoking, drinking and taking drugs.
So yea, I think with the majority of people are pretty chill about it, both smokers and non-smokers, but you do get the odd one who is strangely millitant about their anti-smoking views, but like I say, these mostly exist on the internet and the reason for their hate is the same reason the people can hate people in general, because they don't actually know anyone from their chosen hate group personally.

Completely agree. I'm a non smoker who's allergic to tobacco (so much so that I will die after about 30 minutes of exposure) but I'll defend the rights of people do it, so long as its not around me.
No disrespect intended, but you can't actually be allergic to cigarette smoke. Raw tobbaco, you can be allergic to it, but smoke, while you might not like it and it might make you cough or something, can not actually give you an allergic reaction. See, you need quite large molecules to induce an allergic reaction and they just can't survive in that kind of heat.

Y'see, there's a problem. You're not killing yourself with just your money, it's my money too.
Countries with free healthcare have to increase taxes to deal with smokers and their glorious black lungs. The insurance premiums goes up for everyone because people live unhealthy lifestyles, such as smoking, eating unhealthy, and drinking. They're killing themselves and we have to pay for it.
In a way, it's very much my business what people kill themselves with, especially when they're doing it with my money.
So excuse me for approving of making it as hard as hell for you to enjoy your death stick in peace. You're burnin' me money. You're more than welcome to spit in any poor food I choose to indulge in.
You seen the tax on cigarettes these days?
