I remember when they did it INSIDE buildings. And cars. Schools, hospitals… if you lived through the 80’s you just have the pervasive smell of tobacco registered as a prime core memory.
Because that tiny overhang is the only goddamn shade/rain shelter in this entire city block. People love designating “that spot over there” as the smoking spot but hate putting any sort of shelter from the elements.
Any place where you don’t force your smoke upon people who have no choice about being there. It’s not that hard: Don’t make your smoking anybody else’s problem.
Or, if this is more your style of communicating: Up your ass.
It’s 25’ in Virginia and that’s for hospitals and schools, maybe there’s a distance a business could enforce but honestly probably literally outside the doorframe is all they can do most places.
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.
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.
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
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).
Or they have undiagnosed ADHD and haven’t associated the effect of nicotine with their seminormality mask they can only maintain with legal stimulants.
Noooooo you can’t use smoking you must doomscroll social media and consoom products!!! You can’t be getting dopamine from chemicals you MUST CONSOOOM PRODUCT!!!
Bro, Imma be honest, as a nicotine addict, I wouldnt encourage anyone get on it. You start seeing nicotine as a stimulant that you “need” to get through difficult tasks, or tasks that need focus, or shit, maybe you even need to game a bit better because you’re sleep deprived(caused by the nicotine) and having an extra stimulant alongside some caffeine might help. You start using it to get through stuff, and then because of withdrawals, that “”“”“justifies”“”“” your use of it to get through stuff even more. Not to mention nicotine’s bad effects on your gum health and cardiovascular health.
By the way, for anyone reading this, fuck vaping. Harder to quit than smoking because a lot of people get nicotine salt disposables, or their mental process when in withdrawal/craving phase is “oh it’s just vapor, not smoke which is carcinogenic, one more hit couldn’t hurt”. Which is true, smoke, tar, combustion, etc is the main cancer causing part of nicotine, but thinking of it like that doesn’t help you quit.
Don’t smoke, don’t vape. Longest I’ve lasted is a month so far, and that’s because I threw my little nic salt pen and carts away.
Edit Addendum: Btw, this is typed by a mofo who is still vaping, I relapsed. I fell into that same line of logic above. “I need it to get through work” type shit
I bring words of encouragement: Fuck yeah. Any hit you don’t take is a win, so keep at it!
I struggle with alcohol and I’m not gonna drink today again. Maybe skip a hit for a stranger on the internet, and the world’ll keep a couple lights a little longer.
Why do smokers of all kinds have to smoke right in front of the door of every fucking building?
I remember when they did it INSIDE buildings. And cars. Schools, hospitals… if you lived through the 80’s you just have the pervasive smell of tobacco registered as a prime core memory.
I use to live in Vegas as a child occasionally. We’d sometimes go to the casinos for shows and have to cross The Floor
I can still feel it on my skin decades and decades later
I remember looking for the grocery carts with built in ashtray.
Because they’re selfish inconsiderate pricks who can’t fathom how disgusting they truly are.
Because that tiny overhang is the only goddamn shade/rain shelter in this entire city block. People love designating “that spot over there” as the smoking spot but hate putting any sort of shelter from the elements.
So? Whoever brought the cigarettes should bring a jacket or umbrella too.
That spot “over there” is so the smelly smoke can also stay “over there” and not end up in the lungs of healthy people.
Go get wet fucker, I give no fucks, you chose to smoke not me.
I also give no fucks, so here we are.
“I don’t care about your comfort (and your health a little, but its your choice)”
“Well I don’t care about your health(or your comfort, but its my choice), so here we are.”
I swear to god I am going to carry a fucking bucket of water from now on
Where the fuck do I light one up then, your holy highness?

In Canada, a minimum of 6’ away from the door unless you want a fine.
It’s only 6’ in Canada? It’s 50’ in the US.
Of course nobody actually enforces it, so it’s effectively nothing, but still…
It’s 25’ in Virginia and that’s for hospitals and schools, maybe there’s a distance a business could enforce but honestly probably literally outside the doorframe is all they can do most places.
I would love to see someone get fined for that. I wonder if anyone ever has.
As far from me as you would like to be when I drop a huge smelly fart.
In the trash where you belong

[Person shitting in a public pool]
“Its called a public pool for a reason. I have a right to this water as much as you don’t like it.”
You probably watch YouTube with the sound on and no headphones in public, too.
God I hate those people.
What the fuck is your logic? “I get a right to air, so I will pollute it for you.”
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
Lol, as if those removeds weren’t using single-use vapes and then throwing them on the ground.

Probably because they’re addicted, enjoy the high, and don’t have the means or strength of character to quit.
Or they have undiagnosed ADHD and haven’t associated the effect of nicotine with their seminormality mask they can only maintain with legal stimulants.
Nic + Caff + Vyvanse = Good day
Vyvanse just made me super fuckin high, maybe I don’t have the ADHD after all.
Yeah maybe you don’t. I feel just focused and calm on it and able to do stuff.

It felt like that for me in a lot of Europe, but not America.
