  What forms of persecution are you referring to Mr. McCarthy?  
Persecution in the form of not being forced to consume the smoke created 
by others?  The persecution of having their stay in the hospital partly 
paid by non-smokers?

  You realize Mr. McCarthy that if your words create an environment in 
which more people are prompted to smoke, then by your own <logic>, and in 
your case I use the term with reservation, you will have to consider 
yourself guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and/or murder.

  I would hate to think that you have one set of rules for yourself and 
another for others.
