Are alcoholic drinks companies allowed to advertise on billboards as well?

Of course the risk profile of marijuana is arguable closer or more favorable than that of alcohol, so tossing it into the alcohol advertising bin or better makes more sense.
This may surprise weed smokers, but non-smokers don't want to breathe that shit in and the smell goes everywhere. Maybe smokers are oblivious to it, but the stench is more far reaching than tobacco for sure.
Car exhaust is far more harmful and I don't like smelling it, let's start ticketing drivers for driving their car too close to my home
It's quite clear that you have no idea how harmful car exhaust is to myself and my children, we need to ban cars and make sure we fine drivers for harming my family
A better analogy would be, imagine your neighbor owned pet skunks and they sprayed a few times a day. Even on their own property, the scent carries and lingers. Keep your pet skunks in the house, that's all.
And no, smoke smell does not linger in open air. Molecules in air diffuse rapidly especially in moderately windy environments, I urge you to read up on basic physical chemistry if you don't believe me
Africa is not a single country, that is a sweeping statement, and based what I saw on the last time that I was in a particular city in a particular country in Africa, that statement is rubbish.
They were also taking many anti-COVID-transmission measures at the time. What I suspect is that African countries were less naïve about COVID - they had no expectations of being exceptional, of escaping unscathed, and had been impacted by other serious disease outbreaks in living memory, so they had more expectation that it was a real problem, but also one that could be mitigated.

Or the inevitable domestic violence, barfights, DUIs, and deaths. Marijuana, by comparison, kinda smells and makes people eat too many oreos.
A tiny amount in the air will -- enough to smell -- will have a negligible impact on you or other bystanders. If you're worried about brain impacts from having to be around people smoking outside than you should be fuckin terrified about breathing in car fumes, off-gassing plastic items, etc.
