It smells terribly, exposes others to negative health effects without consent and is one of the biggest causes of littering. Simply put it is a major nuisance with no benefits apart from profits for the tobacco/drug industry and addicts getting their high.

Could probably extend that to anywhere around minors in general too.

      I think they mean outdoor places, too. I don’t recall that being common. I assume they’d also be against designated smoking areas, since that doesn’t fix all secondhand smoke to leave them around.

      Strange comment. I don’t know of a single country that outright bans smoking in all public spaces. America or otherwise.
