Because then it’s still done. IIRC one of the industry’s plays was to push for smoking areas as a compromise rather than have smoking eliminated/drastically reduced.
Not sure however what’s the best way to accommodate those who are addicted
I used to smoke a pack/day. Sure it sucks not getting to smoke for 10 hours, but it’s seriously not like they’re going to die. It doesn’t hurt them, they just need to get their shit together and take a little bit of responsibilty for their dumb habbits. My view on this hasn’t changed since I smoked.
Smokers can be some of the most inconsiderate, self centered douche bags in this world. I thought so too when I was a smoker. You know what sucks when you’re dying for a smoke in an area where it’s either prohibed, or just plain fucking rude? Smelling some douche nozzle’s cigarette. It makes the need 10 times worse.
My solution is to not accomodate the addicts. They chose to smoke, they can choose to stop if they actually want to.
As someone allergic to it, my main gripe is “Oh its not that noticeable!” And I’m like “But it IS, just because you have no sense of smell doesn’t mean I don’t!!” It reeks and makes me so nausea feeling.
If so many people need a place to smoke, why not create a designated smoking area?
In Japan (Tokyo at least, idk about elsewhere)smoking is banned everywhere. Except designated smoking rooms. It’s… different.
I don’t think they’ve banned it in all the bars yet
Yes, now that you mention it I do recall smoking bars in Tokyo.

vapes, gum and patches seem like the best accommodation, but i’m not an expert.
I frankly don’t want to do 2nd hand vaping either. Unfortunately a lot of unaware young adults got addicted to that
