Indoors maybe. People really have a warped idea of how much smoke they're inhaling in outdoor scenarios, unless they're literally blowing it in your face from centimetres away it's not doing anything.
You may not know it because you're a smoker (smokers' noses are completely and irreparably fucked), but normal people can tell a cigarette was lit in a 10 meter radius, even on a windy day.
I'm surprised they can still walk around outside, when there are literally cars everywhere. Those are killing way more people on 'second hand' exposure than tobacco.
That's the thing with smoking though, second hand smoke is a big problem, especially for vulnerable people

Hell, I can still smell smoke strongly enough to make me breath lightly because of how bad it smells even if the smoker is gone. That shit lingers.
We're talking about the outdoors. That shit dissipates rapidly following an inverse square law.
I'm not a smoker.
There is a difference between smelling and inhaling enough smoke to do any sort of real damage.
The fact you think they're exactly the same thing is exactly the point.
I bet you think you can get high from sitting next to a weed smoker as well.
Let's be honest, people just hate smoking and want to get rid of it.
See, you get it afterall!
Why don't you just mind your business instead of being a puritanical twat?
Because fuckers keep burning and smoking stuff that smells like shit in public spaces.
People think BBQ smells like shit. Ban that yeah?

Whataboutism.
