Question for all you numbnuts who are against smoking bans in public areas.
When marijuana finally becomes completely decriminalized as it eventually will, are you going to stand up and shout that marijuana smokers have every right to smoke in public places and that their desire to smoke trumps that of the majority of other people who do not smoke and don't want to have to inhale the smoke?
Are you going to claim that bar and restaurant owners have every right to permit it in their eating and drinking establishments and that health codes and workplace safety regulations don't apply in these places?
Both tobaccos and marijuana contain narcotics though only nicotine, as far as I am aware is physically addictive.
Marijuana first or second hand smoke is not known to cause cancer or heart disease or ear infections in young children whereas tobacco smoke is known to cause those things.
The most common method of ingestion for both is via lit cigarette.
When pot becomes as legal as tobacco are you going to be fine with being smoked everywhere that you believe tobacco smoke should be permitted?
Personally, I like the smell of marijuana and don't mind at all if people smoke it around me. But I don't think it should be allowed in areas where other people have to inhale it. I feel the same about tobacco.
I'm all for making pot legal.
I hate the smell of it.
I would not be for them banning its use on
private property which is what we are discussing here.
Immie
We are discussing public areas, some of which are located on private property.
Just to make sure I understand your position, it seems to me from your past posts that you think that unless a smoker is on the private property of a person who does not want to inhale tobacco smoke, a smoker is fully within his/her rights to smoke regardless of the presence of other people who may or may not object to the smoke. Is that so?
