I can't talk for anybody else, but I didn't intend to talk down to you and I apologise if you think I was. I was merely trying to point out that, in an inflammatory topic like this, it pays to be careful of the way you put things as, in this instance, I'm afraid that I thought it was quite a strange thing to say.

if your Child/Grandchild dies through passsive smoking, think back to why you did it.

Unfortunately, I think that you will have to accept that we live in a country that allows freedom of choice - I choose to smoke and accept that there may be either short or long term effects on my health. However, I also accept that other people may not have this attitude and, as a result, I try as much as I can to prevent other people from being affected by my smoking.

Unfortunately, I think that this, and basically telling towny to mind his own business, could be attributed to the 'playground mentality' that you so dislike?
