Poor people don't have the ability to make their loser neighbor stop smoking so they need a law like this to raise their kids in a smoke free environment. Why you all defend a stupid habit like smoking and then say POC tend to smoke is just amazing.

This!!

If people honestly cared about minorities or those in a worse financial situation then they would support this bill 100%. These people need the law on their side to try to provide a safe, healthy space for their children to grow up. They need the law because they don't have the money, education and power that a lot of us have.

I'm honestly shocked that anyone educated enough to be on DCUM could have a problem with this. If you want to engage in a filthy habit that hurts the environment as well as the people around you, then you need to do it in a place where you can guarantee that other people (esp children) will not be affected by it.

I mean, we're only talking about cigarette smoke, right?

Correct. Weed smoke is healthy and pure. It's grown by fair trade small farmers, not giant tobacco companies. It's totally organic too. Weed smoke is nutritious too. It cures cancer, heart disease, glaucoma, gout, AIDS, depression, broken bones, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, anemia, leprosy, smallpox, and everything else. It's a miracle cure.

Just ask anyone who smokes it. There is literally NOTHING that hasn't been claimed to be cured by smoking weed.
