    Sounds like the same argument against banning smoking in pubs, which is probably the single greatest health intervention in the last fifty years and now supported by basically everyone.

      Inside is very different to outside where smoke doesnt accumulate. You can instantly smell someone had a ciggarette inside even hours later, outside you cant tell (once the person has left) even a few seconds later.

        That’s incredibly subjective, and not true for many. A lot of people can tell if you’ve been smoking outside

          Its incredibly subjective that smoke dissipates far faster outside where there is significant airflow than inside closed rooms?

          Yes your clothes might smell if you’ve been smoking outside, but if you walk away from the spot there isn’t any smoke hanging around for other people to breathe in. That is the difference when it comes to health effects from second hand smoke.
