Genie, if I were smoking today I would stay continuously furious, I do believe. Not only are the prices of cigarettes outrageous, but the 'rights' of the smoker are being disrespected, belittled and ignored. The 'lepers colony' that lurks at the entrances of every state and federal and professional building is a constant visual thorn of reminder of how badly smokers are being treated today.

That said, looking back, I am appalled and mortified at how oblivious I was in my smoking days (years!) of the rights of non-smokers.
