    as long as it isn’t harming innocent bystanders.

    Considering that’s exactly what second hand smoke does, I really don’t see what point you’re trying to make.

      What they are trying to say is to ban it in public areas, but not at home.

      Except it doesn’t, less than 9% of the population in the USA uses tobacco in any form, including in that group is past smokers and vapers so it’s probably around 7% or less. Continually attacking a vice that’s basically done is just virtue signaling bullshit. Alcoholism has skyrocketed and kills way more people a year, and obesity is now our number one killer by miles. No one is dying from second hand smoke…you sitting in traffic is doing way more damage to your body than getting a random breeze of smoke from someone outside.
