The number of daily smokers in Spain decreases every year and some countries are already legislating their progressive illegalization. However, new forms of consumption such as vaping show that there is still a long way to go.

I wasn’t even being remotely equitable in how I feel about one or the other.
So lemme clear the air, so-to-speak:
Being homeless should never be treated negatively, and we should help people overcome it in every way possible (housing first).
Secondhand smoke is a choice that a smoker makes, a choice that literally affects others in every negative conceivable way, and we should make life harder and harder for smokers. (Even harder for the manufacturers)
Smokers should be ostracized like we did with COVIDiots; they shouldn’t get to be in public spaces when smoking; they should be isolated until the smoking is over; any lingering stench should be scoured from them before they’re reintroduced to the public.
Don’t even think to get my words twisted. We treat the homeless like we SHOULD treat smokers.
I’m not twisting your words. You’re saying we should shame smokers the way we do homeless people, because you for some reason are too dumb to see the hypocrisy.
Shaming homeless people doesn’t work. Shaming smokers will also not work. You are just wrong, no amount of explanation will justify it.
