At least legalize weed... I can't understand why Europe is so far behind North America on cannabis laws.

What's next?

Giving people free drugs and UBI?

These Irish people sound like a whole bunch of hippies.

Ireland still needs to make laws against smoking on the street. There needs to be walled off and ventilated smoking areas. It doesn’t matter what you enjoy/can’t kick, standing at the doorway of a restaurant and puffing away is pretty rude.

…and I can see some people on this community aren’t ready to hear that.

I dont experience this at all

Good to hear. Hopefully it’s something that’s on the way out.

Just about everyone in Ireland I talk to, including smokers, don’t like street smoking either.

Its one of the few reasons I would be against legalising weed tbh, I cannot stand the stench of it being everywhere.

Smoking sucks sure but I dont have it everywhere ad I dont know of street smoking laws even being discussed, seems pretty niche.

Smoking in a doorway of a restaurant or pub is already illegal in Ireland. Our culture of 25% of the population actively getting a kick out of making life worse for everyone else and thinking that this is justified by our history and culture; and the other 75% being terrified of starting anything because we no longer have guardians of the peace able to... guard the peace, is fully at fault.
