I would be ok with smoking in restaurants if said restaurants were required to advertise the fact that they have smoking, and put a big giant 'ALL YOUR FOOD WILL TASTE LIKE ASH' banner out front so I could easily avoid them. Also giving the side eye to people who smoke on the street is cool and good. Smoking in public is the equivalent of farting in stranger's faces and I am fine with any regulations that restrict smokers into ever smaller spaces. If you're not treating smoking like an extremely embarrassing and shameful thing you do because you have a crippling addiction you're probably an rear end in a top hat. Public masturbation should be more acceptable than public smoking.

Wait a minute, are you trying to ban farting in public too?

Not all farts are bad farts, and you can't choose to not fart, and existing laws cover climbing up on a trash can, taking your pants down and farting directly into someone's face so I think we're good there. Incredibly though wafting lovely cancer smoke at head level outside of a sealed steel box for other people to walk through isn't illegal yet.

smoking is fine and I'm only bothered by secondhand smoke if it's inside and it clings to all my clothes and every surface so I smell like that even after I leave

Smoking isn't banned in restaurants out of consideration of the customer, it is banned because a restaurant is also a workplace and the people that work there don't have a choice about being there and being exposed to the smoke.

the first time they tried to pass the smoking ban in new orleans they put up billboards about how bartenders and musicians and "dancers" and other service workers are forced to work in smoke-filled workplaces

the billboards showed these workers holding guitars or serving drinks or swinging from a pole lookin all sickly


people were all "lol who cares about them" and it didn't pass

I can't wait for a minimum income where people don't have to work in establishments that allow smoking. But you are freely able to trade your health, as covered by universal healthcare, for additional hazard pay.

If I'm paying part of your health care then you definitely aren't going to be allowed to spend your workday in a smoke-filled room.

This is the type of entitlement mentality that undercuts social safety nets.

A key aspect of UHC is that EVERYONE receives it, PERIOD. It should not be a tool of social control.

I'm the idiot that went from smoking a pack a day to vaping liquid that has enough nicotine in it to kick someone who vapes clouds on their rear end

my lungs feel better and I'm still getting nicotine by the puff :c00l:

I'm not defending smoking as a matter of class interest. I'm saying anti-smoking is anti-working class.

There are people who are being told to quit smoking or be thrown out of their home, and that's loving insane to expect of people who also have to work. Handle people who smoke with kindness instead of doing awful things to them because "public health".

Ban smoking, replace all cigs with vapes.

If you want to just kill yourself, maybe don't, but also just do it quickly and without stupid health complications, by jumping off a bridge or whatever

Smoking is a terrible societal ill and is mostly used as a stress reliever. It kills millions a year. Anti smoking is not anti working class you fucks. Smoking is like sealing up a gushing would with a bunch of dogshit. It might stop the bleeding for a bit, but you're far worse off in the long run.

i hate the smell of cigarette smoke and it gives me a headache afterwards. some apartment buildings here (in NYC) don't allow for smoking inside of them at all, and i don't support that. their home, their rules
