      I just wish it was banned in public because I choose to not put poison in my body, yet I have to inhale everyone else’s poison that they are ingesting near me. In public and in cars is where I wish it was banned. There’s nothing worse than being stuck behind someone in traffic that is smoking and you have nowhere to go and nothing to do except inhale that shit.

        I got bad news for you… cigarette smoke is the least of your worries when stuck in traffic. You’re inhaling exhauste fumes from every car near you…

          Oh man if only there were laws in place to attempt to help mitigate that risk… placing the responsibility on the car owners to ensure their cars meet emissions regulations to reduce the impact upon third parties.

        I have to say, pot is getting like that too. While I support that it’s now decriminalized (where I live), now it’s becoming a nuisance. I shouldn’t have to breathe second hand smoke regardless of what you’re smoking

      Also my opinion, and the outcome of prohibition would suggest that society at large generally believes this as well.

      …with an obvious exception for minorities…

      Which was my point. Apparently the politics of it, and decades of anti tobacco propaganda (and I dont intend the normally negative connotation the word has, it just is what it is) have made this acceptable somehow… for an obviously racial/homophobic exception to just be openly declared and apparently acceptable… it’s kinda weird to me.

      No you don’t lmao the FDA is kind of the authority here. There’s nothing on store shelves that you can choose or not choose to put in your body that wasn’t already cleared by the FDA. You have an illusion of choice.
