    Why do smokers of all kinds have to smoke right in front of the door of every fucking building?

      I remember when they did it INSIDE buildings. And cars. Schools, hospitals… if you lived through the 80’s you just have the pervasive smell of tobacco registered as a prime core memory.

        I use to live in Vegas as a child occasionally. We’d sometimes go to the casinos for shows and have to cross The Floor

        I can still feel it on my skin decades and decades later

      Because they’re selfish inconsiderate pricks who can’t fathom how disgusting they truly are.

      Because that tiny overhang is the only goddamn shade/rain shelter in this entire city block. People love designating “that spot over there” as the smoking spot but hate putting any sort of shelter from the elements.

        So? Whoever brought the cigarettes should bring a jacket or umbrella too.

        That spot “over there” is so the smelly smoke can also stay “over there” and not end up in the lungs of healthy people.

      At my apartment buulding they stand right in front of the no smoking sign at the front step to the building on the building’s property where smoking is not allowed. If they stabd 5 ft over, they’re on the sidewalk where it’s okay.

      But nope, they have to stand right there.

        Any place where you don’t force your smoke upon people who have no choice about being there. It’s not that hard: Don’t make your smoking anybody else’s problem.

        Or, if this is more your style of communicating: Up your ass.

          It’s only 6’ in Canada? It’s 50’ in the US.

          Of course nobody actually enforces it, so it’s effectively nothing, but still…

            It’s 25’ in Virginia and that’s for hospitals and schools, maybe there’s a distance a business could enforce but honestly probably literally outside the doorframe is all they can do most places.

          I would love to see someone get fined for that. I wonder if anyone ever has.
