Stinky is very qualitative. Maybe you grew up around tobacco smokers and so don’t mind the smell? I hate it.

Quantitatively, marijuana smoke is less carcinogenic than tobacco smoke.

[BenFranklin100]

The smell from marijuana smoke lingers and travels in a way tobacco smoke does not. Most people other than users find it significantly more offensive than tobacco.

Disagree. If you’re at a concert and someone smokes weed everyone is like “right on”. You smoke a cigarette and people want to fight you.

[BenFranklin100]

What does this have to do with how the respective smells linger?

[mattmaroon]

I was disagreeing more with your second sentence, however as for the lingering, I also disagree. I have a couple contractors who were working in my warehouse and smoking skunk weed the whole time. (I know, I know, but they do good work.) The smell was gone the next day.

But you smoke a cigarette in an enclosed space and I’ll still smell it in a couple days. I think it must be the tar and other additives, and now I kind of want to find someone who smokes natural tobacco to come do it and see if I’m right.

[bamboozled]

It's less offensive of an order as the complete shit that's in cigarettes and it also doesn't stick to your clothing and linger in the same way.

Subjective but I feel like it is less harsh on my lungs secondhand too

[Reubachi]

Any burning organics will be different sample to sample, and any "smell" judgement of such will be subjective.

Almost objectively, we all have anecdotal memories of being overwhelmed by tobacco residue in a car, room, clothing etc.

^ Not like "someone just smoked a cigarette in here, yuck" but more like "this room is destroyed from 20 years of tobacco smoke, we can't sell this".

I would suspect that very very few people have ever sat in a car and said "someone has smoked cannabis in here for years, it's destroyed."

[BenFranklin100]

I don’t care about a car or home destroyed by tobacco use. Those are easy for me to avoid. Sitting on my porch and nightly taking in the smell of weed from a neighbor 50 feet away is a different story. That doesn’t happen with tobacco smoke. The smell of marijuana travels in a way tobacco doesn’t.

I hate both. Hence I said it should be as strict, if not more.
