Last week we ran a story about how smokers are perceived by the general public, and decided we would ask SodaHeads how they felt about it. There were several ways we could have worded the question, but we asked which respondents "look down on" smokers in order to zero in on stronger opinions.
Though most people didn't go so far as to say they "look down on" smokers, there were still plenty of head-shakers out there -- and you might be surprised to see who they were. Would you be more likely to get a light from an old man or a younger woman? We've got your answer.
We also looked into a couple of related surveys to find out how many people wanted to ban smoking in public -- significantly more than those who look down on smokers -- and to take a quick look at young people who puff.
Let's dive.

+15I used to smoke...never blew smoke in any ones face and kept it away from those who didn't like being around it. Common human courtesy is always in fashion.

woman dropped her cig while driving, lost control, and took someone out on the sidewalk.
happened in las vegas too, guy driving home from work, turning right got an ash in his eye, lost control and took out a mom with her child in a stroller at a bus stop.
a clear cut case that second hand smoke is NOT the only killer from smoking.
irresponsible behavior killed in those cases.
I'm drug free, not even these allowed! I don't help the country making money at the expense of my health.
imbicels and idiots would soon have control of the planet. As for the smokers, they are destined to
have early deaths, and should be gone. However, a new child is induced to take up the habit every
second of every day of every year .... and, they will cost society about $400,000 each as they leave
us their children, parents, and medical bills to take care of.
products that are destined to cause the deaths of more than 1 billion of these smokers. Now, which
is the greater crime against humanity - a few thousand dead or a billion dead?
You, smoking to death, get nothing but choking to death on your own bloody lung tissues. I
think both of you are nuts.
society, even if your actions fail to harm others or burn down an apartment building. Also, you are
known to stink like the bottom of a dumpster.
An old friend of mine, a clinical psychologist, was pretty good at hypnotism. He "cured" many smokers, alcoholics, fears of elevators and heights, and a variety of such problems.
