im sorry if some are offended by this comment. this thread sounds more like “finding reasons not to give tzedaka” than anything else.
i think the reality is that the responses are trying to make it seem that that was the purpose of the thread. the op’s intent did not give me that impression at all, there just seem to always be people who don’t like their ‘right’ to smoke attacked. You get the same arguments from the word ‘internet’.
