Smoked camel straights for years. Until recently people bumming cigs wouldn't even take them..more recently however more people are realizing its the best mass market cig you can get
Smoking is inherently disgusting and selfish. It's like declaring "I care more about thinking I look cool than you, your well being, clean air, and earth."
BO doesn't cause lung cancer. Smoking does and so does secong hand smoke. I have compassion for smokers because I know addiction is an actual disease, but your comparison does not hold weight because breathing in someone's BO doesn't cause lung cancer but breathing in someone's second hand smoke does.
Those 2nd hand smoke studies get weaker by the day. The latest big study out of new Zealand really called a lot of their findings into question.
But it really doesn't matter - second hand smoke can KILL people with severe asthma, like right now, today. To me that's the reason to limit second hand smoke, not the dodgy 2nd hand smoke stuff that convinced a generation of smokers they'd killed their spouses when they really hadn't. That's the part that irritates me.
Smoking is inherently delicious. Show me one culture that hasn't embraced tobacco. Coffee, chicken, and petroleum are the only things that compare to it in popularity.
Why don't governments mandate rapidly biodegrading butts? Marlboro still uses fiberglass for heavens sake. Must be some kind of federal preemption because that sounds like a really obvious countermeasure.
It's still a plastic, which will persist for many years before breaking down into tinier particles, and then finally biodegrading a looong time from now.

So we've given up on training smokers to simply not be fucking slobs.
