My son has asthma. I hate smoking, but I'm not okay - with this. Why stop at smoking?

Posted: Feb 21st, 2020 - 6:49 am In Reply to: Apartments - are

I could see this coming some 15 years ago. If any ‘smoking ban’ is to include marijuana, that may be tougher to do. MJ smokers often feel that they are exempt from such laws because "it’s prescribed by my doctor, or it’s healthier than tobacco!"

If the walls are being shared, I understand but my problem is this...if you can ban smoking in someone's home (and it is their home) what's next?

If cigarettes are that bad, why are they not illegal? Because govt is addicted to the money they get from taxing them.

If one insists on smoking cigarettes, rolling your own is definitely the way to go. That way you avoid the toxic chemicals that are added to factory cigarettes, some by government mandate (like fire retardants). As a non-smoker who detests the smell of cigarettes, I can say that roll-your-own cigarettes are far less offensive than the factory variety.
