Smoke away all you want........................

I don't miss one bit eating with the smell of cigarettes all around me. Here in Vancouver public smoking has been virtually eradicated and I think its GREAT. Sadly the downstairs neighbor smokes regularly so it often happens that I open my window to get fresh air and all I get is their second-hand smoke. I mean, if they enjoy smoking so much, can't they smoke inside their apartment with their windows closed and enjoy all that smoke for themselves? It not just the smoke that's annoying, they also cough like they have bad lung disease... but, hey, smoke away, not that smoking has anything to do with health issues, right...?

If that's how we measure puritanism then I guess in my country we draw the line at lighting cigarettes with church candles

You are in France right? Over here the only place you can smoke inside is in your home. And if you are seperated and have kids, your ex can even stop you doing that. Not saying I disagree, I'm a non smoker.

Im an off & on again smoker. I always smoke outdoors and don't give it a second thought. It keeps me from smoking more tbh

Idk in germany and most of europe they did that too but i saw people smoking inside in uk in germany and that was 2005. Idk about now

As an Australian.. I can’t sit on the beach and have a beer or a ciggy.

The real nanny state 🇦🇺

It is a form of Puritanism..ahh The French🚬

Where is 'here'? I need to know so that I can avoid it. The last thing I want to inhale is someone's smoke.

Where are you?

So because YOU want a cigarette i should either avoid the establishment or suffer thru your second hand smoke ?
Aren't you infringing on my rights to breathe clean air ?
Your being selfish !

that sounds nice, but I'd rather have prudes around me and a good healthcare system and government funded education, rather than being able to smoke at bars

I'm a smoker and have never once felt "oppressed" having to go outside ro exercise my personal choice.
