Smoking should just be illegal in any multi unit residential building or even below 10 meters from any window or door of a residence. Period. It’s a real plague for anybody who doesn’t smoke. You want the freedom to smoke? How about my freedom for clean, breathable, smoke-free air?
We just started having nice weather here in Montreal and started opening our windows to air our unit and as soon as we open up, our neighbours are always smoking up our apartment by smoking on their balcony. Sometimes they have parties where they have a lot of friends over and they all smoke and the smell comes through our A/C that’s mounted on the wall that separates our units.
It’s awful.
Agreed. It’s disgusting. Am a relapsed nicotine addict, I still walk all the way to the park before sparking up and feel disgusting for it.
the reason I’m a relapsed: people don’t realize what it was like when everyone everywhere smoked all the time. I grew up in a family - sisters, dad, mom, grandparents, who smoked constantly. road trips? windows up baby. every meal, before and after? flavor town.
I remember teachers asking me if I smoked because my clothes would reek of their bullshit. And going to aafes to score cheap smokes for the whole clan just made it seem inevitable. but it’s not. we have multiple generations of kids now who never seen someone light up in a restaurant. or a movie theater. or on a plane trip.
fucking evil horrid chemical.
Aw man. Sorry you had to grow up around so much smoking. Yeah it basically develops into an addiction just from the second hand smoke. And there’s also a kind of nostalgia that gets associated with the smell of cigarettes I would imagine.

yeah, a double sided one - literally ‘ooh yeah’ and ‘hurk gross’ at the same time.
