Firstly you said, you can't make a statement like that about smokers. This must mean ALL smokers, because otherwise you are wrong. If you are meaning just the smokers that I mentioned, then they were being inconsiderate, so I can say that.
Secondly, you made and example about black kids. If I was to substitute smokers into that equation, it would be 'Smokers are inconsiderate, I just saw a bunch of them smoking on a cancer walk.' I never said that, and I never grouped all smokers together. I said those individuals were inconsiderate to do that, which they were.
