> If you take one of the world's most popular pastimes that personally, and want it legislated against on that basis, I have no time for your arguments.

Many popular activities are expected to be done where they do not impact others. In my local park, a man was arrested for masturbating in public, certainly a popular activity.

> It doesn't matter the tiniest bit what the laws are; you're gonna smell it.

Over the course of the last few decades, I smell it more in Manhattan and in many other places where it has been legalized. Apparently laws do matter. Not that I want any laws against it. I would just prefer that people not be assholes about it.

I did not interpret such sociopathic behavior as a "personal insult".

As for the more serious issue, I did not take the thread here. I replied to your comment, "OP is complaining that he might get a whiff coming from his neighbors house." I pointed out that one does not need to enter someone's house in order to be forced to inhale their smoke.
