It's forbidden in the US too. However I've noticed the intensity of weed smell makes it noticeable even where tobacco smell would not be.

I don't care what weed smokers do as long as it doesn't negatively affect me. However quite often their stench does.

Yet another reason why I want to move to a supposedly eco-unfriendly single family home in the suburbs ASAP. Since weed became legalized, the stench in urban apartment buildings has been nauseating.




Had we as a society been pursuing coexistence instead of crushing people with laws then we might have made progress with this by now. Controlling odors is an engineering problem with several solutions that are not widely applied.

It is also important to note that the spread and lingering of smoke smells in apartment buildings is just one symptom of a general problem of poor indoor air circulation and air quality. Addressing those issues effectively will help with quality of life and health and should be done regardless.
