You're absolutely right, and don't think I haven't appreciated it. Thank you. My question is, will that change? Probably not with my good friends. But, like I said, I can imagine a scenario where I'm told to take a hike if I don't like it.
I know I've been talking from a place of, "How will this affect me?" I'm really more concerned about children, or the elderly, or those who are otherwise incapable of communicating or realizing the effect second-hand smoke is having on them. I'm interested to see how our society works this out. If I'm uncomfortable, I can get up and leave. Many people don't have that option.
Mebbe some of you don't know what a pothead I used to be. My relationship with weed was not casual or occasional, to be sure, and caused me a lot of trouble. The scenario I described above? Not in the least theoretical, if you catch my drift.
