Even though I'm happy that airplanes/restaurants/offices are now free of smoke. I'm old enough to remember when every building stank of stale smoke.
I've never smoked, and neither has anyone in my family except my mom who quit before I was born. I've never smoked marijuana, either, though I voted to legalize it.
I.e. I have no personal agenda with either.
Conclusions: Our overview of systematic reviews of observational epidemiological evidence suggests that passive smoking is significantly associated with an increasing risk of many diseases or health problems, especially diseases in children and cancers.
I can personally confirm that standing by smokers / staying in smokers' houses is quite good for triggering asthma. So I suggest you tampen down your propaganda claims.
I do similar things after eating, because I seem to have varying intolerances against the foods which are common now. Making my nose run, sometimes going to the eyes, giving me tears, over to coughing, and in more rare cases even constricting my throat. All that is going away instantly after a few draws of a selfmade small cigarette with long thin filter, exhaling the smoke through the nose.
Furthermore I don't wan't to lose the ability to smoke light weed from time to time, without coughing and spitting fits :-)
I don't think we were talking about abolishing alcohol. Parent claimed alcohol consumption does not have an effect on others which is objectively wrong.
