Just like alcohol and cars but we don't ban those outright. At least smoking is confined mostly to certain areas. You have the option to avoid those, like some do with pubs

    Depends on where you are. In some countries smoking is quite widespread and is done outdoors, so definitely not confined in this case.

    Only to be replaced by vaping outside. I agree if the space is confined and shared it shouldn't be mixed with smokers and non smokers but if you're in a public street you have the option to avoid the smoking and be out of 3rd party smoke range. You're always going to have problematic smokers/vapers just like anything else, no law is going to stop this

    Some would argue they hate people drinking anywhere but licensed indoor spaces
