    As a former smoker (now vaper) I understand and agree with non smokers about smoking inside.

    However the people who bitch about smokers outside in public piss me off.

    Yes my cigarette (now vape) is soooooo much worse than the exhaust of the thousands of cars /generators/construction equipment and so on that are constantly running all around us.

    But out of sight out of mind. They can’t see all that exhaust shit so it doesn’t exist - But those fucking smokers how dare they.

      I also get mad at people who drive cars instead of walking or taking mass transit, if that helps.

      But someone smoking near you makes your day undeniably, immediately, worse.

      If you’re sitting in a room that smells uncomfortably of cheese, and someone rips a juicy fart on your face, it would be unreasonable to be like “who cares about my shart it smells like cheese in here”

      The problem is that nicotine itself isn’t a carcinogen, but increases the effectiveness of other carcinogens. So like, the nic is going to make that car exhaust/etc more harmful.

      I don’t breath in exhaust either, fully concentrated. I have as much of a problem with diffused cigarette smoke as diffused exhaust, but I fucking hate smokers that make me breath in their second hand fully potent, carcinogenic, horrible smelling smoke.

      I have asthma and when I walk past a smoker it makes it harder for me to breathe for a while afterwards. I don’t have the same issue with vapes though so I don’t really care about those even inside of they smell nice.

        Some of us do struggle to breathe around vapes though. Not as bad as cigarettes but it’s still a problem

          Looked it up and I had no idea how bad second hand vapor can be. I don’t vape or smoke but I’ll give them both the same level of stink eye going forward.

          I just find it kida gross to inhale something that already was in someone elses lung. It doesn’t matter if it smells like cotton candy. It’s pointless and stupid

      I stop bitching about smokers when they manage to not throw their garbage everywhere.

      And yes i know, of course you are the one smoker that has a pocket ashtray.

        I also manage to return my cart even in shitty weather ;)
