I think there is a big misconception on this board that everyone is here because they want to recover or are in the recovery process. I don't know anyone who enjoys having this phobia, per se, but I don't think that's any reason to be less supportive. There is a reason why this is called a support forum and not a recovery forum.

All I can say is, it's not fair to push your personal ideals and biases on other people. Fact: smoking is unhealthy. Fiction: smoking makes you a bad parent/person.

It's incredibly judgemental to point fingers at smokers without admitting your own demons. I am willing to bet my Macbook that every user on this website has one unhealthy habit, ie, afraid to leave the house, excessive hand washing, anti-emetic addiction, overeating, under eating. And many of those previously mentioned I am guilty of.

I think a lot of users on this forum could stand to be a bit kinder to one another, myself included.
