Drivers, Like Smokers, Assault Our Health
Hamilton Spectator
Why is it that society condemns smoking in public when, every morning, millions of people fire up their personal chariots creating pollution problems for innocents who have not made that choice? Smokers, like drivers, have made their choice that they can live with dangers to their health for the sake of the convenience and pleasures of their vice.
How are these two actions any different? Are they both not made for the user’s convenience and pleasure? Are they both not a personal assault on the rights, health and well-being of other parties who have not made that choice?
