It sounds to me like your angry that you got this cancer instead of "someone that smokes" and are not looking to lash out at smokers. That makes no sense. A smoker doesn't "deserve" cancer anymore than a nonsmoker does. It's that simple really. It's very, very easy to judge someone else from the other side of the room but I suspect that we ALL have our vices in life. I know my grandmother cannot function with out her cup of tea first thing in the morning. No different a feeling then smokers have, no different an addiction. Only difference is that tea isn't a carcinogen.
Whether or not someone else smokes has no effect on your cancer so why waste emotion and energy on it by judging them?
