I'm glad I live in a place where banning smoking outdoors and in houses/vehicles will not happen, especially private homes and vehicles? That'd be a massive intrusion on rights. Furthermore, any privately owned facility should have their own say, which means the current ban imposed on restaurants is an overstep.
As much as I despise the smell, I don't have to enter a private business.
Pot stinks to high heaven.

Know why pot smokers think it does not stink up the joint? Because they are high. I get it I am not against it but you go to a concert indoors and somebody breaks out a joint, whole audience knows. If you smoke pot you have zero business looking down at a cigarette smoker, you are doing the same exact thing.

That is a far cry from what “sea store” cigarettes sold for when I was in the Navy. 12 cents a pack. As soon as the ship left the 3 mile limit the line for them was unbelievable.
I was able to quit them in 66, I guess that is why I am still around today.
I think they were $1.50 carton in port, Ninety cents at sea but don't remember what year. I quit years ago when they went up to forty cents a pack from the machine. I said someday they will be a half a buck a pack and I will never pay that. One of the best decisions I ever made.

Oklahoma just passed an open container law for pot. If anyone lights up in a car the driver gets a ticket. Seems like common sense to me since the driver cannot stay out of the smoke.

Open container laws for alcohol in cars don’t make sense to me since the driver has the option to take a drink. Open containers on boats are legal here but a DUI on a boat carries the same or worse penalties as a DUI on the road.

I wish the Stench Sticks were $500+ a Carton. And Ban Smoking of Tobacco Outdoors, and in Houses/Vehicles with open Windows.
Pot and Hash are okay, as they don't Stink anywhere near as Bad as Tobacco
Both are vegetation dried and smoked, both odors are offensive to non smokers. Seems silly to feel superior.

Remember the days when one could smoke on planes? Then they moved the smokers into there own glass enclosure before a flight like zoo animals display.

I can tell you for a fact:
