yes I misunderstood and I apologize. And the writer is anti smoking. But the article contains potentially useful information hence my decision to post it. I didn't parse it for being pro smoking politically correct.

There was a Quora post the other day about 'what's the most shocking thing you've seen in a foreign country' and a popular answer was 'all the people smoking in public on the streets, entire families"

I reference this as proof that we should understand we are a minority in many places (we = smokers, we = cigar smokers being a minority within the minority). We are not facing an easy time getting what we want, and we need to figure out what we can accept. It sucks being a minority. But here we are, outnumbered.
