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.
