Where would one smoke? Should one instead permanently smoke damage the homes for the British aesthetic? Why not smoke outside where nature helps to cleanse and utilize proactively.

Does less damage than a car on a 5 minute trip, but that's only the rest of the modern world. It benefits the slothful.

"are you saying i should damage my home when i can just damage the environment and everyone around me and make it everyone else's problem instead?"

yes. deal with your own shit, or if you don't want to, don't smoke.

and your argument about cars is invalid on multiple fronts. first of all having worse things doesn't make anything okay. you can't punch someone out of nowhere and when called out on it say "well murders are more damaging so if anything I'm pretty chill". second of all I'm anti car as well and would ban all cars except public transport and emergency services if i had the say. fuck cars. but fuck smokers more. at least there's an imposed necessity for cars due to flawed infrastructure.

there's not only zero necessity for smoking but also no benefits and no redeeming qualities. I'd much prefer it if you were addicted to heroin because you can't do it all the time everywhere and there's no such thing as second hand shooting heroin.

How is me damaging a home that I rent in order to damage other's experience a better solution than just you know, using the carbon cycles that exist at a tangible rate?

Cars are a pollutant, the only ouright negative of smoking is pollution of lungs. However as you prefer heroin, maybe you are just outright wrong.

Other than that, ashes are good for the earth. If you use a filter then that's pollution, I don't.

Zero necessity is in my opinion wrong. I don't need these, but they historically and traditionally have been used as both heat sources in the cold. Meditative guides and casual incenses are just smoking but without even any outright pleasure.

Then again, you sound like a child of modernity and have not seen the aeons before you. You use the name pyre and know not the meaning. Hate for the smoke of which you would dispel.
