I don't care if anyone smokes. Just don't annoy me with it. People smoking in public places and giving you free lung cancer is my worst pet peeve.

Thats why I hate smoking more than drinking. Drinking doesn't make me want to cough my lungs out and doesn't endanger me directly when someone does it. Smoking does.

I seriously doubt you’re near enough second hand pot smoke to get cancer compared to like whatever’s ins the water or like idk I feel like micro plastics in your blood should be a bigger concern. But hey everyone’s entitled to their own version of paranoia. Gotta keep these meat suits living as long as possible, right?

I meant tobacco with the whole lung cancer thing. But tbh you can't escape poisening yourself if you have a fairly regular life. Cars, processed foods, plastics; all that kind of stuff is very hard to avoid for most people. With smoking I just really hate the smell (I'm hypersensitive) and the fact that smoker's poor decisions often times directly impact the people around them

Yeah I feel you. Tobacco is terrible. I’m happy a lot of places have done away even with smoking sections. As for cannabis I smoke at home so I rarely find myself endangering others. But I guess it’s a respect thing. I wouldn’t blow my smoke in someone’s face much like they won’t force me to listen to country music.

I mean so do a lot of things that people enjoy. Bar dwellers smell like pee and vomit. Boiled cabbage smells rank aswell. Idk your point. I’m just saying you’re more at risk from other things than “second hand cancer pot smoke”. Does it smell bad sure but so do comic cons.

I don’t like alcohol either. Just not for me

Fair enough haha good point. Hope we can agree to enjoy our own things as long as we arnt hurting anyone..whatever that thing may be.
