    First and foremost, people have the right to slowly kill themselves with cigarettes as long as it isn’t harming innocent bystanders.

    That’s the thing with smoking though, second hand smoke is a big problem, especially for vulnerable people

      Indoors maybe. People really have a warped idea of how much smoke they’re inhaling in outdoor scenarios, unless they’re literally blowing it in your face from centimetres away it’s not doing anything.

        I’m surprised they can still walk around outside, when there are literally cars everywhere. Those are killing way more people on ‘second hand’ exposure than tobacco.
