He knows how all 3 of his non smoking kids feel about his smoking and has had somewhat restricted access to his grandchildren because of his smoking.
It's a disgusting habit;I am glad it is banned in the workplace,bars and restaurants soon to follow suite.I agree with the Big G that the only way to stop this evil would be a tobacco ban but that would be nigh on impossible to enforce.
Smokers should try watching the Gunther Van Hagens autopsy tv series and see for real what they are doing to themselves and those around them!

Gosh !! so much hate
