Take in smokers

My New Years resolution this year will be to have less sympathy for smokers which will be difficult considering how little respect and sympathy I have for them now.  It just  seems that if in 2013 you are still smoking you are either stupid or total white trash.   Obviously everybody is well aware of the health risks at this point so continuing to smoke is a complete death wish and most people have so much less true sympathy for somebody who did it to themselves when they knew the risks.   Every time somebody gets diagnosed with lung cancer the first question always is whether they smoked, if the answer is affirmative the mood goes immediately from 100% sympathy to about 50%.  

The second part is that it has become such social outcast behavior and seeing a bunch of nicotine fiends freezing their asses off outside of there office buildings is a sight which brings a smile to my face.  That these idiots are willing to stand in freezing cold rain to get a couple of drags just shows how pathetic the entire thing has become.     Long gone are the Don Draper days now it's a bunch of folks huddled up like the pathetic low lives they are 

But mostly the people who you still are smoking are the people who can probably least afford it literally and figuratively.   They are the slobs living on $25k per year and dropping $70 a week on cigarettes and whose idea of a healthy meal is only ordering two quarter pounders.
