Rather ironic, considering your last post provided the definition of the term 'genetic fallacy' for everyone.

Rather ironic, considering your last post provided the definition of the term ‘genetic fallacy’ for everyone.

But even in Oceania people could smoke! They had crappy tobacco, but they were allowed to possess, transport, smoke and even offer tobacco to others.

Why should your right to kill yourself supersede my right to breath clean, smoke-free air? Guess what? It DOESN'T. So you can make all the retarded connections to nazism you want but the fact remains that non-smokers' rights to NOT smoke take precedent. You wanna smoke? Go ahead! Just do it where YOU are the only one you're harming. Hey you should have the right to smoke until your lungs explode… but you DON’T have the right to pollute the air I’M breathing.
