If someone dresses like Peves, that's none of my business. If someone choses to speak/write in a manner that shows their lack of competent use of the language, that's none of my business, though I frequently comment on it anyway. If someone choses to paint themselves "team colours" and scream like a bnashee, that is none of my business.
However, when someone choses to pollute my lungs with poisons I can't get away from, that IS my business. There is little I can do about suicidal people, but I can get really annoyed when they turn homicidal and try to kill me with their nasty habit.
Besides, it stinks and burns my windpipe.
I also take a dim view of people chosing to obliterate their "good judgement" with some sort of mind altering substance, then sit inside a several-ton piece of metal and try to not run over the rest of us.
Basically, both are the same general concept, one is just a bit quicker than the other, neither of which can I respect.... so ... yes, scorn is a word I might use toward such weak and foolish people. . . .
