My apartment recently went no smoking inside. It does make sense. You get tar build up on everything and it's horrible for your lungs and your pets.

Pot smoke ain't better, but presumably most people don't smoke bud like they'd smoke ciggs. I ain't one of those people.

And as nasty as hotboxing your own place with weed, it's kinda shitty for neighbors trying to raise their kids and whatnot have to see you Snoop Doggin it on the patio.

So it seems reasonable to me, except is there a place for people to smoke ciggs in San Fran anymore. Ironically now you can no longer blow a fag in your San Franciscan apartment.

If it’s a health concern then gay sex between men should probably be outlawed due to the alarmingly rates of HIV. Alternatively you can simply ban smoking and gay sex in your own apartment and not worry about what others do.

It's not just a long term healrh concern, it's hard to breathe in a smokey apartment. I usually run 3 HEPA filter fans at once just so I'm not coughing up a lung.

And sadly it's not just a personal issue, I can smell when my neighbors are getting high. They can probably smell my smoke as well.

It sounds like there may be a need to tighten-up building regulations if a person smoking in their apartment causes problems in neighbouring apartments. If a person's apartment is smokey because of their own smoking habits, and not affecting their neighbours, then that seems to be something between them and their landlord - not a situation where the government should step-in.

the weed smoke is good for you so it's good if it gets spread to the neighbors, that's probably why they're making it allowed to smoke weed in them, now the annoying neighbors can't complain.

By that logic heterosexuality should be banned because the current population level is unsustainable.

While I enjoy the optimism, excessive breeding isn’t likely to an issue in that city.

It's a global issue.

You might then want to start with countries with higher rates of reproduction. You could tour Africa and Asia, encouraging the locals to try homosexuality.

It's been that way for 20 years, no smoking apartments. Literally a fake article nothingburger for 16year olds. You just go on the balcony to smoke. OMG SO CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
