The only problem I see is a lack of dedicated smoking areas. I think that there should be dedicated areas to smoke so that people aren't inclined to smoke at bus stops and on the sidewalk.

Yeah, that's a good idea tbh

Yes. Smoking sucks

Yeah definitely. It's a health risk for everyone. That's why they have vape pens and other smokeless products now. I get that nicotine is a very serious addiction, but there are so many other options besides smoking.

Yes, ABSOLUTELY

100%

There are other people around, and no one wants to be breathing in the fumes from you smoking.

Yes. Funnily where I live it is mostly banned.
But people only obey this in underground stations (where it is actually enforced for security reasons)
