    Every smoker I’ve met gets very defensive about “why can’t I breathe my toxic fumes on everyone else?? What’s the big deal?? And then they get so mad when I litter like get over yourself”

    Smoking in public is indefensible. There are smoking cessation programs.

      Agreed. Vaping on the other hand is fine and with how many people vape now thankfully not something anyone has any remaining institutional power to enforce a ban on, so glad I can puff on the train in peace now

        I don’t think the fumes from vaping are especially safe or welcome, either. At least there’s no littering, though

          The only fume here is the shit that comes out of your mouth. Get yourself a triple mango elf bar and chill tf out, vaping has been studied for 29 years and so far no issues have been found whatsoever if you vape normal regulated vape juice and not amerikkkan popcorn lung weed crap (eww weed).

            Canadian here. Weed vapes are fine if they use safe ingredients. What you are on about is black market vape juice.

            Edit: the ew weed means all your arguments against it are likely bad faith.

            Edit 2: bro gets corrected ob the saftey of weed and loses his mind using refeer madness li es backing hard drugs as a replacement. You’re cooked dude.

              TIL! In the UK all weed vapes are just spice. Ok if you do it in moderation but very opioid-like effects and much more dangerous.

                  Yeah. I forget places even have legal weed sometimes it’s genuinely surreal, because everyone smokes it anyway like it doesn’t make any difference. I stick to nicotine though, weed just makes me paranoid and hungry. Plus there are way better drugs like acid.

                    Only if you can verify the source. I’ve never heard of someone’s life being ruind because of weed other than legally.

                    Acid can fry your brain with a single dose.

                    Trotting out acid as better than weed is a choice, not a great one though.

      It’s called public space for a reason. Your logic is completely inverted. I get a right to the air as much as you, don’t like it --> fuck off somewhere else, better yet don’t leave the house

        I think you’re confused - seems like you think that a public place is your private space. Public space is a place where people need to consider OTHER people. You just proved OPs point.

        What the fuck is your logic? “I get a right to air, so I will pollute it for you.”
