Perhaps this belongs in net.flame or net.smoke. {:-)
People who smoke politely consider themselves harmless.
This is false.
	1.  We are paying for their medical bills.
	2.  We are paying for their higher sick rate at work.
Similarly, we all pay for people who do not wear seat belts.

but too often, I often find myself driving without my seat belt on.
And how could I give up excesses of ice cream?
