People smoking at home can be a lot more disruptive. I would get woken up at night because of the extreme pungency of my neighbour's weed. It can catch on the nose in a physical way beyond simply being smelly... although coming home to my house smelling of weedy cat urine was kind of miserable too.

Given the choice, I say anyone smoking it should have to sit in a grow tent with air scrubbers otherwise stick to edibles.

Same for cigars. This comes very close to "taste policing". If you can some ciggies on the street, then you can smoke all things (legal/decriminalized) on the street. Or it becomes whimsy.

This can be countered in many ways, and I presume you realize that 'home' is ventilated into exactly same open air as everything else, basically nobody has carbon filters that would make the smell actually disappear.

THC oil vapes don't have any typical smell, at least not the ones I've tried. They are superior to smoking plants in many ways, be it health effects, strength of effect or cost. You can have edibles (I don't like how they take very long to manifest but for medicinal use they should be better by principle).

I am not against ban in public per se, but lets be consistent - cigarettes, cigars etc should be handled exactly same, with same punishments.

I agree I just don't think it should be illegal to smoke outside just because of the smell, it seems kind of extreme.
