Those effects are about as much as any other activity you do in private. Neglibably.

It affect others when you take a walk the woods? Not really. Unless you fall and break a leg and "others" have to come get you in an amblance. Literally every can have some effects on others. But it's ridiclous to pretend that would be a valid argument for a ban.

Smoking is โ€œfunโ€, according to you? Yeah, calling bullshit.

A lot of people sure seem to enjoy it. Maybe more pleasure then fun

The effect on others is cancer, friend

If someone smokes in private it causes less cancer than your comments. Banning smoking in public palces isn't the issue, the total ban is.

Not to mention it stinks

So should we ban your mum, too?
