You keep insulting the anti-smoking majority by comparing them to an anti-scientific religious cult and you (mildly) insult people who have just given up smoking by calling them foolish. If it was proven that smoking saves lives and they are cutting short their own by jumping on to the religious cult bandwagon then, yes, they are foolish. But at the moment it’s like calling people fools because they step on cracks in the pavement/sidewalk.

First, the majority here may not smoke, but that doesn't mean they are rabid anti-smokers. Most people believe "live and let live" and they don't worry that a waft of second-hand smoke from a burning plant leaf will kill them.

Second, since when is disagreeing with people an insult? Sorry, anyone is a fool if they quit smoking now and increase their risk of getting the corona virus. This stuff is not rocket science.

Sheesh. This is like trying to explain reality to Muslim fundamentalists.
