That's a really bad argument. People smoking in public do force me to huff the second hand smoke.
That's not an argument for banning nicotine in general. That's an argument for banning smoking in public indoor places, which I think is already the case in most countries.
This and the fact that we're talking about nicotine here, not cigarettes directly.
Inhaling vapor is much less unhealthy (still unhealthy) than inhaling cigarette smoke.
And what about nicotine patches? Should we can those because people don't like inhaling smoke? Doesn't make sense.
What? In what way does that have anything to do with banning nicotine?
