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.
Then everyone needs to support those who smoke not being allowed to be told they can’t smoke in their home. Fucking landlord parasites and their bullshit overreach into what someone is allowed to do where they live.
As someone who grew up with 3 smokers until I moved out on my own I had no idea how bad I smelled to the people around me. It gets in EVERYTHING and the worst part is when you grow up in it you have NO IDEA until you get away from it long enough for your sense of smell to notice it. I was shocked. It took about 6 months.
Was playing MTG with my brothers one day and couldn’t figure out why my eyes were red and what the smell was… Then all the comments from people my whole life hit life came back and ran through my head. I was amazed then so so so fucking angry at the adults that raised me for it.
I do smoke marijuana since it was legalized here but after my upbringing I’m very self aware of my vice’s problems and make sure I’m not a nuisance.
But I will contend that I hate the smell of tobacco as much or more than ex amokers
