I appreciate your reasoned approach.

I think one thing a lot of people don't know now is that back then there was a WHOLE LOT of denial about the detrimental effects of smoking. I think this was mostly the tobacco industry's propaganda, but it worked. I remember talking with someone in the 90s that had some sort of cancer and had been a smoker most of his life. "No way to know if it was the cigarettes" that caused the cancer, he told me.

We are much, much more aware of the downsides of smoking now. The cat is out of the bag.

You should BOTH be very proud that he did that. Quitting smoking can be very difficult.

Wow. Dozens of people started smoking to be outside with the smokers? That's crazy. That must have been during the denial phase in smoking's history.

I also think it can be a power trip. And they may also think that the person is just "bad" and deserves punishment for whatever other crimes (real or imagined).
