I have an absolute choice as to whether or not to smoke but no such choice is available for Covid-19. None of the ill or dead chose to contract the virus, while every smoker decides to light up every time.
A smoker is immediately identifiable, but asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic Covid-19 carriers are not. It is much easier to avoid the smoker. That is why we should all wear masks indoors in public places.

I am fully capable of staying 6 feet away in Costco or the grocery store from you too, whether you are a carrier or not. If you come into my space then that is on you.
Now getting on an airplane? At a baseball game? In a movie theatre? Sure I get it, but come on man... That isn't what we are talking about here.
