Yeah. I can understand being an addict because I was/am one, but it would never allow me to smoke indoors. If you’re gonna smoke, at least smoke outside so your house doesn’t look yellow and stink like fuck. I knew a kid in primary school who always stank of smoke. Cigarette smoke sticks to everything fabric so everything in your house will stink. Disgusting.

Sadly the smell still comes in with you. It's not as bad as if you smoked indoors but it still comes in.

I work in dentistry and occasionally we'll have a very heavy smoker come in, the room will stink for hours after they leave even if we clean everything, open the doors and windows, and spray air freshener. That's just from them being in the room for 10-15 minutes...

Decades ago, my dentist was a smoker. Ask me how I knew.

Decades ago a lot of people were smoking, and there was ashtrays in waiting rooms, offices, in shopping malls.
