> Amsterdam — a city long famous for its pot cafes — last month instituted a new ban on smoking marijuana in public places.

I'd love this for NYC. I'm getting pretty sick of smelling weed all day on the streets.

Noone should be smoking anything in public places, weed or not.

Agreed, if banning one type of smoking, it'd be more straight to just ban them all. Or it becomes "taste policing": I/we/they don't like the smell of weed.

You don’t own an ICE or natural gas heater then right? Otherwise, “their pollution bad, my pollution good”

Correct, I don't own either. And even if I did, voluntary smoking cigarettes outside near people is not quite at the same level of necessity as heating your home or moving you from place to place, right?

I mean to be honest, tough shit you live in NYC lol
