    To an extent, smoking in public is fine. My regular smoke spot is in a park. But I also hike 20 minutes to it explicitly because its as far away from everyone else as possible, and the wind is usually going away from them.

    Maybe I’m overcautious, but I remember walking down the street as a kid and just hating the smell of cigarettes. I never found weed as bad, but I don’t want to br the asshole who’s the reason some poor 8 year is holding their breath as you walk past them.

      My teenager still holds his breath as we walk by pot smokers . Tobacco smokers are much rarer in public where we live

      I was thinking public municipal streets and the like, not out in the middle of nowhere.

      And honestly, I’d apply that to cigarettes too if we wouldn’t be forcing a bunch of addicted people to quit cold turkey because they can’t take smoke breaks at work.

        Really the biggest thing is just having some common courtesy and being considerate of where and when you do it.
