I can see why people smoke and I'm not phased by it when people do, but it's definitely not for me. I have been tempted to try it, but my grandma has COPD and the fear of that waaaaay outweighs my curiosity. Also cigarettes are tested on dogs and that makes me sad.

Smoking outside should honestly be legal, as most people have the decency to not smoke into a child's face.

We're getting to be even more of a dystopia, now. It's beyond ludicrous.
That's a bit silly, that's essentially saying "you can only smoke in your garden" but what about people who don't have gardens? Children are literally everywhere, the only exceptions I can think of are older people's care homes and uni campuses! Can you imagine:
"Honey I'm just going out for a bit"
"Where are you going dear?"
"Oh just to the uni 50 miles away so I can have a smoke"

People don't smoke tobacco in my local park anyway (teenagers do smoke certain other things tho)
