"This is a non-smoking flight." Yeah, fucking who doesn't know that? It's like saying this is non-highjacking flight.

First time I flew on an airplane I sat in the smoking section. I was 15 yrs old then.
Just want to add that the biggest objection that I have heard from coworkers and friends about making recreational Marijuanna legal is the smell. Walk around a downtown in any state it is legal for recreation in and the smell is everywhere.
Non-users don’t want to smell burning weed or tabacco as they go about their day.
I live in a legal state. You get whiffs once in a while, which is more funny than it is annoying to me.
There are times when the smell lingers, and that's pretty gross.
But other than that, it's not as choking/poisonous as the cloud of cigarette and car fumes.
The car fumes are causing more cancer than the smoking. And is non majority directed at the user. We've known that for just as long as cigarettes being bad, yet people turned their head because they had good lobbying.
Gas powered cars are worse than cigarettes. We could have switched to majority electric cars in the 70s, and all the gas stations would have just been electric chargers and the tech growth for batteries would have happened 50 years ago.
Then again cars cause further damages to society than just fumes, but a lot of people don't care about the layout of towns/cities and access and accept deaths from cars as par for the course.
I live in a city where it's not legal an it smells loud enough now. I do think it should be legal, but I don't really care for the smell.
Las Vegas and Reno casinos are still like that. I don't go often, but the few times that I have I gave up any of my mild interest to gamble when I realized how much smoke there was indoors.
There are non smoking casinos
I honestly don't know really anyone who thinks it's a bad thing, and back when it happened I was in bars a lot and knew some proper alkies who loved their ciggies.
It's crazy, people used to smoke on the dance floor even. Like the beat turns from fast to slow and you stamp out your cigarette so you can dance the slow one. Or even worse, you don't stamp it out, just put it between your lips and keep puffing while gently dancing away to the slow song with a partner. (Careful, don't burn her hair.)
I lived in hungary for a pretty long time and there everything still smells like cigarettes... moved to sweden the air is literally fresher and the grass is literally greener
They don't have a public smoking ban? I thought that was EU-wide
They may have(ive never heard of it) but you know nobodoys enforcing anything in hungary. Its also legal in spain but much fewer people smoke there.
Reminder to anyone who still smokes: you smell like shit 100% to anyone you interact with.
And any place you still smoke in, whether your car or home, also smells like shit.
And to delivery drivers who smoke, the packages you deliver smell like shit, too!
I agree but it is kinda nice being able to smell how stressed my boss is
Positive reinforcement works better for helping people quit :(
Especially when quitting smoking tanks a person's dopamine levels. It takes weeks for the body to re-regulate production.
To anyone reading this who has quit/is quitting: congratulations! It's tough, you have shown a force of willpower and should be proud of yourself.
Love, a fellow Canadian.
Edit:
As with other forms of punishment, aversive methods are generally less effective than positive approaches. It is more important to reward and praise desirable behaviors than to react negatively to unwanted ones. Encouraging a person’s ability to enjoy self-affirmation and self-pride will help them internalize healthy attributes and to become a person deserving of admiration...Shame doesn’t motivate prosocial behaviors; it fuels social withdrawal and low self-esteem.

Positive reinforcement is the act of adding either a reward for good behavour or a punishment for bad behavior.
It seems like both of you are doing that.
Positive punishment is different from positive reinforcement. Shame is a punishment
That's not quite what positive reinforcement is but im not sciency enough to understand it either lol
I'll paste Wikipedias explanation:
In the behavioral sciences, the terms "positive" and "negative" refer when used in their strict technical sense to the nature of the action performed by the conditioner rather than to the responding operant's evaluation of that action and its consequence(s). "Positive" actions are those that add a factor, be it pleasant or unpleasant, to the environment, whereas "negative" actions are those that remove or withhold from the environment a factor of either type. In turn, the strict sense of "reinforcement" refers only to reward-based conditioning; the introduction of unpleasant factors and the removal or withholding of pleasant factors are instead referred to as "punishment", which when used in its strict sense thus stands in contradistinction to "reinforcement". Thus, "positive reinforcement" refers to the addition of a pleasant factor, "positive punishment" refers to the addition of an unpleasant factor, "negative reinforcement" refers to the removal or withholding of an unpleasant factor, and "negative punishment" refers to the removal or withholding of a pleasant factor.
This usage is at odds with some non-technical usages of the four term combinations, especially in the case of the term "negative reinforcement", which is often used to denote what technical parlance would describe as "positive punishment" in that the non-technical usage interprets "reinforcement" as subsuming both reward and punishment and "negative" as referring to the responding operant's evaluation of the factor being introduced. By contrast, technical parlance would use the term "negative reinforcement" to describe encouragement of a given behavior by creating a scenario in which an unpleasant factor is or will be present but engaging in the behavior results in either escaping from that factor or preventing its occurrence, as in Martin Seligman’s experiment involving dogs learning to avoid electric shocks.
(These paragraphs are one after the other but I can't figure out proper formatting)
negative reinforcement is what punishment for undesired behavior is called.
positive reinforcement is rewarding when the desired behavior is exhibited.
edit: negative reinforcement requires forever conditioning and develops sick and twisted conditioners eventually. positive reinforcement takes longer to work but it doesn't require forever conditioning. And rarely causes revolutionary acts.
It's so nasty when you get delivery and the food reeks of cigarettes.
One time it smelled of coppertone sunscreen which was wild and also off putting but in very different ways.
I got a coffee from Dunkin Donuts once that had been prepared by someone who had some kind of topical menthol cream all over their hands. That was the second most disgusting thing I've put in my mouth.
I was born with a deviated septum, so I can't smell much of anything, but cigarette is one thing I can smell... And I can confirm everything in your post.
My dad used to smoke. A lot. I once had to borrow his car for a week or so and couldn't even drive it without flooding it with febreze and opening all the windows.
I used to have a co-worker who smoked so much that I (and others with more sensitive schnozzes) could tell if he'd been in a room in the past hour or more.
Even if you don't care about your own health, you shouldn't smoke for the sake of those around you.
Even more pleasant was being driven around in a car with dad smoking in the front seat while you're behind him. Getting all that wind, smoke and ash in your face. Mmm. Or if it's too cold he doesn't wanna open the window really and basically just hotboxes me and my two brothers with nicotine. (This was 25+ years ago)
My eldest brother had asthma, so my parents were generally careful not to smoke around us. They had a dedicated room in the house for smoking so that the rest of the house would get less contaminated. Fortunately, this meant that they didn't generally smoke in the car while driving us around. Also, my dad worked and/or commuted thirteen hours a day so I was mostly around my mom, who smoked a lot less.
The car borrowing I mentioned was years after my brother had moved across the country when my dad drove his car almost exclusively alone, so at least no one else (who wasn't borrowing the car) was engulfed.
I'm sorry you had to suffer through that.
I wish we could have cigar bars now, along with venues to smoke bong hits inside.
Where do you live that doesn't have them? They do well in Florida and Tennessee. Laws for the most part ban smoking in establishments that make over a certain percentage off food. So some smoking bars open, and they usually do well. I never cared for smoking cigarettes inside of smoking bars, but cigar bars are more common.
According to this site they are increasing year over year as well: https://www.ibisworld.com/industry-statistics/number-of-businesses/cigar-lounges-united-states/
I used to go to a dispensary like that.
Yes
