In my opinion I don't think that's the right solution. I think cannabis is closer to coffee.

Yeah if you literally exhale it directly into someone's mouth but if you're both standing on opposite sides of an open air smoking area it really isn't comparable in the slightest.

The problem with second hand cigarette smoke is also not nicotine, its the like 160 known carcinogens in cigarette smoke most of which comes from additives.

I won't argue for cigarettes, they're terrible.

But I do disagree with your sentiment regarding Marijuana. The cannabinoids and terpenes are still in what you exhale, just in a smaller amount. You're still introducing foreign material to others unsolicited.

So then we should probably talk about car exhaust fumes, I inhale that every time I go outside unsolicited. What about people who are sick? They should probably be banned from public spaces too. And restaurants who cook with grease, you inhale that when you walk past them too.

A smoker smoking a J in a designated smoking area is literally not causing any more harm than any other person smoking in that area. Designated smoking areas exist for a reason. People smoke in society, its simply how it is. People are exposed to harmful substances in the form of gas and fumes every single day of their lives from a million different sources. Singling out people smoking weed is stupid and largely driven by misinformation.

Your strawmaning me and I don't think we'll come to any agreements at this point so I'll agree to disagree and end the conversion here unfortunately.
