    Most people want to bring smoking indoors back. The only people who don’t are the weird shut-ins who sit around posting online all day. People out in the real world don’t view having an after meal cigarette as equivalent to fucking slavery.

    You guys have to remember that if you ask a random person on the street what Cthulhu is, they’re not going to have a fucking clue. Everyone in this thread is a weirdo. Including me.

      The only people who talk positively about bringing indoor smoking back are smokers and pub owners, and they’re in the minority.

      Of course it’s not morally equivalent to slavery, but the ban on smoking indoors made my life and a lot of people’s lives much nicer, even before you factor in the reduced risk of lung cancer from secondhand smoke.

        Im an off and on smoker and am SUPER against smoking indoors and even around kids (like even within eyesight fr). I even got to xperience it before the bans. I remember being a kid in that and its why i have asthma now. Its awful. This person is a minority even among most smokers i know. Its only the selfish lazy people that think that way.

        I like my booze, but if someone wants to light up, they ought to be outside with their booze.

          This proves my point. Normal people don’t think like this. It’s weird. A bar without smoking is like a church Jesus. This is one of those topics online where you feel like you’re being deliberately gas lit. But I have to remember I’m surrounded by the weirdest of the weird.

            No, “normal” people don’t want to bring back smoking indoors. Alcoholics who spend most of their time indoors in bars want to bring smoking indoors back. Your “normal” people aren’t the norm.

        They are not in the minority. The Internet is not the majority. You and I do not remotely represent the vast majority of people in any way shape or form. No one here does.

          What you say about Lemmy users is true, but I wasn’t talking about Lemmy users, I was talking about the general public. Most people don’t smoke.

            Is there data that the vast majority of people in the world are not communist Linux-using weebs on the autistic spectrum suffering from anxiety problems who find jokes about operating systems, Lovecraftian horrors, and quantum mechanics hilarious, and relate to memes about standing in the corner at a party and not talking to anybody?

            We are not the majority, my friend. This is one of those things where you really need to take “trust me bro" as the best double blind study you’re gonna get. Your question is the best data I can give.

              I meant the claim that most people want to bring back indoor smoking. I’m assuming you have nothing more than “trust me bro” for that too.
