Not everyone does it away from other people. There are many people, like myself, who have asthma and will have an asthma attack from 2nd hand smoke, even if it is outdoors. I cannot even tell you how many times I have had an asthma attack from people smoking right outside an entrance/exit to a building, walking around the boardwalk, etc.

Fuck your litter. It’s fucking gross seeing cigarette butts all over the street and even worse in nature. Just selfish assholes making a mess and throwing their trash all over the ground.

The amount of irony in this thread lol. So many people complaining about entitlement and not changing their habits for other people while they demand other people change their habits because of them aka other people.

Some (really most) do litter so literally anywhere it’s legal to smoke, there will be litter.

If every smoker dropped butts it’s be very noticeable. Instead these type of people will yell at the sky

Exactly. There’s tons of outrage here for no reason.

People just like raising there fists to make themselves feel better.

Exactly “I hate seeing litter” yea me too. Also unless they’re in the city, I guarantee they rarely if ever come across smokers. You shouldn’t shift policy because one day a year you get a whiff of an unpleasant smell.

How to know if you are self centered: you don’t notice that everything in a 20 foot radius of you smells absolutely disgusting because of the flaming tobacco you have in your mouth.

Would you feel the same way about your neighbors safely burning garbage in a fire pit in their own backyard?! ITS OUTSIDE IT MUST BE OKAY!

I agree, all perfumes must be banned!

How to know if you are self centered: you want to ban something other people enjoy because it smells slightly unpleasant to you.

Good God the entitlement non smokers have is insane.

For the record I've been to cities around the world (mainly in Asia) that smell like literal garbage. It's not the most pleasant smell but I'm not out there trying to ban their way of life

its not about the smell its about the fact that it literally fucking kills people. One group is saying "hey do what you want but don't have a negative impact on my life and health" and the other is saying "im entitled to a 10 minute break at work and if you dont like breathing in my disease causing poison just go somewhere else" and you think the former is the entitled one?

Secondhand smoke is bad for whoever breathes it in. Doesn't matter if it's "not that bad". The people breathing it in didn't sign up for it, they don't want to breathe it in, and shouldn't have to because of someone else's choice.

Now you know how those of us who despise marijuana feel. Ever since it went legal I can't drive anywhere without smelling that shit poisoning the air.

Because fuck your second hand smoke, that’s why

Real intelligent take there. That's when you know you don't have a good reason to ban it in all public places

The vast majority of what they're referencing is parents that smoke in their own homes and in the car with children. Not people standing in the middle of a public park or a cemetery...

Yeah I’m sure people love seeing cigarette butts all over grandma’s grave when they visit.

Are there butts on grandma's grave now? Also, who's going to enforce?
