Stephen Colbert on 'smokism'

Stephen Colbert reports on "smokism," the systematic discrimination against smokers. Our heroine: "a white, female, nicotine-addicted Martin Luther King," who points out the inherent injustice in making smokers so, uh, uncomfortable. And of course, Colbert asks such hard-hitting questions as, "So where did the cancer hoax begin?" (Hint: "It goes back to Nazi Germany.") Dig it:

And what about discrimination against non-smokers? From what I've read it seems it's much better in the US, but in Poland it's practically impossible to find a smoke-free rock concert. In all small pubs and clubs smoking is fully allowed. I'm allergic to cigarettes and once I felt ill all day after such a concert in a small club. Even at author meetings organised in clubs people smoke! A law theoretically urges all owners of larger restaurants too have separate spaces for smokers and non-smokers, but in practice smoking is often allowed in the whole area! No smoke-free pubs (OK, I don't drink alcohol either), very few smoke-free cafes! So who is discriminated against?
I really feel sorry about so many people smoking, it IS unhealthy, it hardly gives anything, so why waste one's life? So many feminists smoke, I don't want to see those wise women die prematurely! So many young people smoke, how can they think there's something "liberating" and "mature" about this horrible addiction?!
