IllecorsI see angry wankers want to moan for the sake of moaning.

That’s the thing with smoking though, second hand smoke is a big problem, especially for vulnerable people
Indoors maybe. People really have a warped idea of how much smoke they’re inhaling in outdoor scenarios, unless they’re literally blowing it in your face from centimetres away it’s not doing anything.
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.
