Why do smokers of all kinds have to smoke right in front of the door of every fucking building?

I remember when they did it INSIDE buildings. And cars. Schools, hospitals... if you lived through the 80's you just have the pervasive smell of tobacco registered as a prime core memory.
I use to live in Vegas as a child occasionally. We'd sometimes go to the casinos for shows and have to cross The Floor
I can still feel it on my skin decades and decades later

Because they're selfish inconsiderate pricks who can't fathom how disgusting they truly are.
Because that tiny overhang is the only goddamn shade/rain shelter in this entire city block. People love designating "that spot over there" as the smoking spot but hate putting any sort of shelter from the elements.
Go get wet fucker, I give no fucks, you chose to smoke not me.
I also give no fucks, so here we are.

So? Whoever brought the cigarettes should bring a jacket or umbrella too.
That spot "over there" is so the smelly smoke can also stay "over there" and not end up in the lungs of healthy people.
Probably because they're addicted, enjoy the high, and don't have the means or strength of character to quit.
Or they have undiagnosed ADHD and haven't associated the effect of nicotine with their seminormality mask they can only maintain with legal stimulants.

It felt like that for me in a lot of Europe, but not America.

I once insinuated that I hated the smell of vapes and people downvoted me, saying "noooo but blueberry muffin flavour actually smells so goooood"
Yeah okay buddy, I think you're one of the ones I'd find wandering the streets vaping in front of everyone
Edit: to the people currently downvoting me, you guys do know vaping can also give you cancer and increases your risk of respiratory disease, right? And by vaping in front of other people you're forcing that risk on to them, right? Grow a little empathy
This is true, but it's so much better than walking through cig smoke, or smelling that shit in someone's car, or the nightmare of walking into someone's house that has tar all over the walls and furniture because they smoke in the house.
I'll take mass replacement of cigs with vape any day.
There are people that are addicted to a drug the government will not regulate because they are taxing the shit out of the addicted. Grow a little empathy.
Especially for the vapers because they allready diminish the harm to them and others. The exoust fumes of the car beside you are many more times dangerous than the passive vape you could inhale.

i really don't care what you put in your body of your own volition, whether legal or not. go for it, i'm not in a place to look down on you. but just don't make me breathe in your vape cloud. I smoke and I will only smoke in private or amongst people who smoke with me, or who have given me an explicit thumbs up to smoke near them. to do otherwise would be douchy.

A lot of them also vape in the building when they think they won't get caught
Who cares, it doesn’t even smell like anything, let alone in the ballpark of cigs
I am more annoyed by stinky heavy perfumes. Let’s tell people who enter buildings smelling like whole periodic table to think about their life.
I am routinely pinching my nose with my fingers near them and staring but they rarely get the memo.
Nothing worse when someone enters on 0 floor and you smell C16H14O2 on the tenth
As someone who does vape, I can tell you for a fact it does leave a residue. It takes a LONG time to build up, and even then it's only really noticeable on transparent things like glass, but it's a pain to clean off without specific cleaners. Otherwise it looks perpetually smeared. Best to avoid it so the employees don't have to guess why their windows won't clean right.

Honestly, I was at an indoor event with live music just this past weekend. They had a fog machine (a real one, that's not a metaphor), and I saw at least one person get up on stage during one of the performances, and in the middle of the performances, they whipped out their vape and took a big rip literally in front of hundreds of people, including staff at the facility and everything. Nobody gave a shit.
If you're just sitting in a corridor and chugging on a vape, I'm pretty sure someone will care, but if you take the odd puff, and you're not in people's faces about it then it's unlikely anyone will give enough of a shit to say anything.
Aside from that, I want to amplify that there is a residue from vaping, it is very little compared to cigarettes or any other combustible tobacco/nicotine product. I usually notice it the most in my car. It makes the windows look almost oily....
I wouldn't say it's particularly difficult to get off of the surfaces, after all, e-juice is water soluble. I'm not saying it's easy, just not hard, especially if you compare to the tar from combustible tobacco products...

Because they have from the car to the door to do it then who knows how long.

I feel like Lemmy is starting to have a real problem with houlier-than-thou posting.
Life is fucking shit, if people want to cope through that with a little recreational drug use, let them enjoy that small pleasure. If you don't want to vape, more power to you, just don't act like it makes you better than them.
It’s just a joke based on a stereotype. It’s not that deep.
My bad, I was talking about comments in the thread, nit the meme itself.
If they banned drinking coffee indoors, you'd see people greedily and overzealously tapping the bottom of the cup for the last drop of precious magic fluid to touch their quivering tongue before entering a building.
Incidentally I'll take the smell of a fruit vape cloud over coffee sphincter breath all day long.
