Weed is less harmful than cigarettes. At least weed help people in a way. That and it's natural unlike the thousands of chemicals in the average cigarette.
Natural dose not make anything less harmful if you think that there is a nice ivy outside my house you can smoke(posion ivy). It's natural so have at it.

Your lungs were never made to have smoke in them regardless of what your burning. It will always cause damage. It will always increase your risk of lung Cancer. They are in fact both bad for you.

I don't mean to be rude but in effect - if I understand you correctly - your solution to the problem that I am being forced to inhale chemicals against my will is to force me to inhale even more chemicals to make up for some of the damage caused by the first chemicals while at the same time making me take the bad side effects from the second set of chemicals? Taking medication against it sounds good but the medication comes with side effects as well such as temporary full body palsy (shaking - and incredibly uncomfortable but at least you can breathe I guess) and blisters in the mouth for instance which makes them pretty unattractive if at all avoidable.

As for the train stations, I would love that but the problem is that the designated area is called "outside". In Denmark, smokers have the unfortunate habit of spreading out all over the stations 10 meters apart, ignoring the indoor smoking ban and insisting on getting those few last precious inhalations, packed in the cue to the train doors. And the same goes for busses, shopping streets, parks etc etc etc.

My wife works at a hospital and when I go to pick her up, its very common for 10-20 smokers to stand just outside the door, ignoring all "no-smoking on the premise" signs, while people with oxygen tanks and breathing masks try and find a way in because the smokers damn sure wont budge.

But yeah, on topic, cannabis is pretty much the same as smoking cigarettes from an asthmatics point of view. I definitely support the model that Holland uses with smoking bars though. It would be lovely to have such places because I honestly think that people should be allowed to smoke if it could be done in a way which does not affect others - freedom of choice should be universal as long as it does not limit other peoples choice (as smoking anywhere unfortunately does)

Again, excuse me for my lack of information on the situation in Denmark, or indeed asthma as a whole. I had no idea the medication for it had such awful side-effects. Also, you guys there seem to have a huge problem with smokers by what I'm hearing from you? And I mean a HUGE one. Here, it's not THAT bad, I mean people are (mostly) considerate about their bad habbit, so very rarely do you see scenes like the one you described. Yeah, sure we smoke everywhere but at least it's not RIGHT IN FRONT of the bloody doors. The reason for this might be because there are special kinds of trash-bins which have a place where you can stub our your cigarette. So smokers usually pile around that, which always protrudes a quite good distance away from any entrance. And also - I FULLY AGREE with your suggestion about the smoking bars. I'm willing to bet that if we had that here, you'd see almost no smokers in any other bar/club/caffe (aside from the ones who all of their friends are non-smokers, the poor sods, lo do I know that feeling!). Maybe if your government was to pass a bill or a tax of some sort which fines people who throw their cigarettes on the ground? That might frighten them a bit. It would be great if we had special places where we could indulge in our self-destructiveness all we wanted, without being in the way of people... So yes, in conclusion - I'm sorry. I'm fully in the wrong here and I believe all of my arguments fall flat.

Too many replies to this one thread but i'll say it anyways. As long as I'm not blowing my smoke in someones face or smoking indoors, it's my god damn body and i'll inhale whatever I damn well please.

Oh and if you ask me for a ride to work, no I'm not going to stop my smoking in the car for you while i'm stuck in traffic. iasegjege;
