I think it's interesting really. This debate has me thinking. The biggest issue is the circle of effect I think. When someone smokes their circle of effect is what, like 5 ft? When someone who doesn't smoke and doesn't want to smell second hand smoke needs to walk around that person, their circle of effect is also 5 ft. That's two big circles fighting for their place! No wonder the argument is firing up!
It's interesting the heroin comment that came up. You see the yellow mail boxes, that is a receptacle just for them. So they don't affect non heroin users! It's kind of proving both sides, but though it was interesting to bring up.
Obviously this isn't going to be won or lost on CP. Personally, I think it's terribly unfortunate that such a product exists and is on the market now a days. Every single person can agree it's healthier NOT to smoke, which I believe gives the non smokers the leg up. They are just saying, do it and don't affect me. The smokers are saying, go be non smokers and don't let that affect me. But in the end, the two cannot co exist because even one smoker and one non smoker need so much space, physically, between each other to do just that, not affect each other.
