I think Denis Leary said it best :

Yeah, we tried to be nice to you non-smokers. We tried. But you just fucking
badger us, you know? You won't leave us alone! You got all your little
speeches you're always giving to us.
All these little facts that you dig out of a newspaper or pamphlet and you
store that little nugget in your little fucking head, and we light up and
you spew 'em out at us, don't ya? I love these little facts. "Well you know.
Smoking takes ten years off your life." Well it's the ten worst years, isn't
it folks? It's the ones at the end! It's the wheelchair kidney dialysis
fucking years. You can have those years! We don't want 'em, alright!? And I
guarantee if I'm still alive, I'll be smoking then. I'll be in my
wheelchair, with my adult diapers on and my twenty-five year old non-
smoking born again christian son behind me. I'll be going, "Hey! Make sure
you wipe this time. I was itching all week for Christ's sake! And get me
some more wippets. I'm almost out, you fucking pussy! Come on!"

Because you're always telling us, "You know, ever cigarette takes six
minutes off your life. If you quit now you can live an extra ten years. If
you quit now, you can live an extra twenty years." Hey, I got two words for
you, ok. Jim Fix. Remember Jim Fix? The big famous jogging guy? Jogged
fifteen miles a day. Did a jogging book. Did a jogging video. Dropped out of
a heart attack when? When he was fucking jogging, that's when! What do you
wanna bet it was two smokers who found the body the next morning and went,
"Hey! That's Jim Fix, isn't it?" "Wow, what a fucking tragedy. Come on, lets
go buy some buds."
