Smoking affects surrounding people much more than the above
- asdff 7mo agoObesity does too. You are consuming sometimes twice as many calories as what is needed to survive. You put strain on medical facilities as well, and increase pooled costs of healthcare. Same social ills a smoker puts on you. Second hand smoke isn't really a thing anymore with indoor smoking bans.
- sanswork 7mo agoSomeone being obese doesn't impact my health directly. Second hand smoke impacts the kids/family of smokers. Second hand smoke impacts everyone walking past the front of an office building.
- array_key_first 7mo agoI don't actually know the math behind it but I would imagine that just smoking outside eliminates almost all the second hand smoke risk. The air outside is really really big, and the smoke is pretty small. Surely most of it misses you, even if you can smell it.
- asdff 7mo agoSure it does. Hospital is more busy than it needs to be and service therefore is diminished or you pay more for the same.
- nineteen999 7mo agoAlso they overflow into your seat when you're on a plane flight. And the smell.
- awesome_dude 7mo agoPeople that consume more are carbon sinks... How ludicrous is this argument going to get?
- asdff 7mo agoConsuming more makes you a carbon sink? Quite the opposite.
- awesome_dude 7mo agoYeah - have a wee think about what a sink is bud.
