I find smoking 100x worse than any drone.
When I'm standing there minding my own business, and then some selfish person comes near and ruins my air, I find it incredibly rude and selfish. Why should I have to move just because someone else can't keep their addictions to themselves?
And the terrible-smelling smoke carries literally more than 50m, even outside. I guess humans have evolved to be super sensitive to smoke for obvious reasons, but cigarette smoke smells so much worse to me than wood smoke. It's just so (literally) noxious. That's a pretty big area for one person to make unbearable.
I can't eat anywhere near it, up to 100m downwind. Smokers have no idea how unpleasant their habit is to others, or at what distance, because they have completely ruined their own sense of smell and taste.

I never used to worry about high drones but now you've reminded me of that, maybe I will! I'd still rather they were far up and quiet though.

- brokenmachine 10y agoHaha, that did sound a bit funny. I'm happy to share my air with non-smokers though. Everyone else needs to get their own.
