I don’t know if you have considered this but stop smoking in areas where people are forced to wait at. Don’t smoke at crosswalks. Don’t smoke outside doorways. Don’t smoke at bus stops. People with asthma or other breathing conditions or people that idk DON’T WANT TO BREATHE IN YOUR CIGARETTE SMOKE are trying to get to places and need to be able to breathe. Stop smoking in crowded areas. stop smoking in crowded areas. STOP FORCING NONSMOKERS TO SECOND HAND SMOKE. 

This may be news to some people, but this applies to marijuana too.

This actually also applies to vapes. My asthma goes off to even vape smoke, it’s not harmless, there are particulates in it that other peoples lungs can and are affected by.

You do not have the right to force anyone else to smoke or vape your fumes.

Y’all don’t have the right to tell me not to do that anyways. If I don’t see a sign that says “no smoking” then I’m gonna light up. Your asthma doesn’t trump my acute anxiety disorder and as unhealthy as it is smoking a cigarette, or a blunt, calms me down. It’s a two way street people 🤷🏼‍♂️

Only exception for me is when little kids are around. Then I’ll put my shit away.

I have a crippling anxiety disorder. I also am an ex-smoker who used to self-medicate my anxiety with smoking, and I’m telling you you’re a fucking jackass.

Go ahead and smoke, that’s your prerogative. You have zero right, however, to claim that your anxiety disorder takes precedence over other people’s health. You have options to deal with your anxiety. Other people don’t have alternative lungs. I’m glad to hear you’re not such a raging asshole against kids, but at what age do you lose your consideration for other people?

Go find a private place to smoke. I’m glad to hear that it helps you, because I know how awful anxiety is, but you are 100% in the wrong here, buddy. Since you’re the one smoking substances that affect other people negatively with shit like, idk, cancer, it’s your responsibility to make it so that your coping mechanism affects only you.
