Not quite the same thing. The equivalent would be if the eater or
drinker threw up the semi-digested food or drink over a bystander. Don't
get me wrong, I detest the increasingly legalistic approach in this
country. I must break at least three laws every day and only some of
them by accident. But smoking is different in that a smoker makes other
stink or die.

Rubbish! smokers only play a very very tiny small part in polluting this
world of ours,how about...

Aviation fuel getting burnt by the minute not to mention burining a hole in
the stratosphere.
Then you have ships,boats,racing boats ect.
Then you have many countries who's cars are not catalytic converterd.
Then you have third world countries chemical plants spewing out all manner
of harmful waste.

I could go on but I'd better sit down and have a fag.
