What ####ing world are we living in where people celebrate cigarette smokers having to stay 5m away from a doorway but live and let live while some loser smokes crack on the c train.

I didn’t say it wasn’t a problem, but I don’t see anybody cowering fearfully waiting on the platforms like is being described as the appropriate response to seeing homeless or addicts around.
I’d say it’s the infrequent user of transit, or the ones who’d never go downtown anyway that seem to say this is the reason they won’t go. When really, they’d never take transit or go downtown anyway. You don’t need nerves of steel or have a hardened heart or whatever.
If you don’t think banning cigarettes near building entrances should be celebrated, just visit a country where smoking literally anywhere except airplanes is still allowed and 50% of the population smokes, to remind yourself what it used to be like here. I think you’ll be fine with how things are here.
