Tired of hearing all the complaints about smokers

To the editor:

I have been reading the comments about smokers who go outside to smoke.

For crying out loud. I am so sick of hearing all the complaining. It is the smokers' choice if they want to smoke after all the warnings about smoking. The protesters have won the right not to have smoking in public buildings and work places, with which I agree, so they are not subjected to secondhand smoke.

How about the smokers' rights? They really don't have any in today's society. They have been ordered outside to smoke, which is what non-smokers wanted, so take the few extra steps to walk around the smokers.

Now that non-smokers have won their rights, they should at least respect the rights of the smokers. It is the smokers' right to smoke if they so choose and as long as they are outside where non-smokers wanted them to be. By the way, I am a non-smoker.
