I don't think the PDGA banned smoking out of concern for the health of its members.

I think they did it mainly to avoid sending the wrong message to impressionable youth. (Yes, some DGers are, in fact, role models.)

And I don't think anyone in their right mind, smoker or not, would like to see more kids encouraged to light up because they've seen lots of cool DGers do it (and we are cool, by the way).

So smokers, quit thinking about yourselves and think of the kids.

Anyone have a niece, nephew, son, or daughter that they'd like to see start puffing?

Anyone?
