I remember when they did it INSIDE buildings. And cars. Schools, hospitals... if you lived through the 80's you just have the pervasive smell of tobacco registered as a prime core memory.
Or they have undiagnosed ADHD and haven't associated the effect of nicotine with their seminormality mask they can only maintain with legal stimulants.
Any place where you don’t force your smoke upon people who have no choice about being there. It’s not that hard: Don’t make your smoking anybody else’s problem.
Or, if this is more your style of communicating: Up your ass.
It's 25' in Virginia and that's for hospitals and schools, maybe there's a distance a business could enforce but honestly probably literally outside the doorframe is all they can do most places.
Every smoker I've met gets very defensive about "why can't I breathe my toxic fumes on everyone else?? What's the big deal?? And then they get so mad when I litter like get over yourself"
Smoking in public is indefensible. There are smoking cessation programs.
It's called public space for a reason. Your logic is completely inverted. I get a right to the air as much as you, don't like it --> fuck off somewhere else, better yet don't leave the house
I think you're confused - seems like you think that a public place is your private space. Public space is a place where people need to consider OTHER people. You just proved OPs point.
