    You may not know it because you’re a smoker (smokers’ noses are completely and irreparably fucked), but normal people can tell a cigarette was lit in a 10 meter radius, even on a windy day.

      Hell, I can still smell smoke strongly enough to make me breath lightly because of how bad it smells even if the smoker is gone. That shit lingers.

        We’re talking about the outdoors. That shit dissipates rapidly following an inverse square law.

      I’m not a smoker.

      There is a difference between smelling and inhaling enough smoke to do any sort of real damage.

      The fact you think they’re exactly the same thing is exactly the point.

      I bet you think you can get high from sitting next to a weed smoker as well.

      Let’s be honest, people just hate smoking and want to get rid of it.

          Why don’t you just mind your business instead of being a puritanical twat?

            Because fuckers keep burning and smoking stuff that smells like shit in public spaces.
