I'm just seeing a bunch of the same excuses smokers use. "I like it, most people don't. I think it makes me cool. I don't care if it could cost me my job, reputation, credibility. I don't care what you think and I'm not going to stop because I don't want to."
What percentage of people are going to be offended by this?
Smoking in someone else's house: 90% =don't do it
Smoking at a bus stop: 50% =don't do it
Smoking in the "smoking zone": 1% =go ahead and do it
Cussing to your boss: 69% =don't do it
Cussing to your patients: 82% =don't do it
Cussing to your plumber: 2% =go ahead and do it
Public display of affection: 6% =tough call
Farmer blowing: 50% =a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

it makes one appear immature, unprofessional and cheap. one often resorts to cursing when they have nothing meaningful to say. Anything can be explained without cursing and there's no reason the english language can't explain anything without resorting to cursing.
