I'm not sure what the practical difference is between second-hand smoke and city pollution, in terms of how much it restricts rights and freedoms, to be honest.
- kareemsabri 8y agoYou don't see a meaningful distinction between transportation methods and smoking?
- scrollaway 8y agoI know what the difference between a car and a cigarette is. I'm talking about the consequences of using it. Nicotine is literally an addiction for a lot of people. They are dependant on it. So taking it away entirely, without an appropriate alternative, is similarly bad as taking cars away entirely.
