Negative! I am already well-acquainted with Bro Science and its extensive list of the magical qualities of the Wondrous Plant!
Curious.
Do you believe that you can test positive for THC "due to secondhand marijuana smoke"?
Did someone tell you that secondhand marijuana smoke reduces pain and cures cancer in others? Funny!
While it's true that the beneficial qualities of marijuana are often overstated by passionate advocates of legalization, recent research has demonstrated that there are legitimate medical uses for cannabis and compelling reasons to continue studying the drug's potential applications. Even the NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse lists medical uses for cannabis.
I feel your pain whenever an officemate heats up the following items in the microwave:
Fish
Shrimp
Cabbage
Popcorn with hydrogenated oil
Also I have an officemate who brings kim chi and sardines for lunch with great regularity.
Also there are some who brew flavored coffee--disgusting.
That popcorn in the office is disgusting because they always burn it. Then you have to smell burnt popcorn for the next hour. I'd rather smell smoke on someone's clothes for a few minutes than that. And don't even get me started on coffee breath. I've had several close calls when I had to smell someone's disgusting coffee breath and almost hurled. They don't realize how much it reeks.
Profit generated from the tobacco industry in the US is $35.1 billion. Using a tobacco product is a personal choice.
Why do you hate personal freedom?
Have you even read my previous posts? I don’t hate personal freedom, I have severe asthma and would like to breathe! Is that too much to ask for? I would rather someone shoot drugs into themselves than to pollute the air with more smoke. If someone must smoke, please do it in your house.
For one thing, being fat is not illegal. Smoking within 25 feet of an entrance is. The guy I saw today also threw his butt on the ground and crushed it out with his shoe. That's littering, also illegal. I don't see fat people going around littering the streets.

It's only a matter of time before they ban smoking outside, since it's involuntarily shared space.
With this in mind, can you support this two-pronged approach?
1. Ban all smoking outside, in public view, anywhere where the airspace is shared with others.
2. Lift the indoor smoking ban in private businesses. Let the market decide. They would have to post "Smoking Permitted" at the entrance, in BIG letters.
