Smoking next to kids at public spaces should be banned, the same should for Cannabis imho.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
Drugs, gambling, liquor stores, prostitution, and any other vice type should be limited to businesses for the express purpose or individuals on their private property, But not in public places or businesses that are not specifically for the vice. In addition advertisement for these type of adult vices should be limited to other adult vice businesses. In other words you can hang up bar adverts at the casino and dispensiaries and such. No regular business can have the activities on its premises, it is limited to private residences and associate private property (if allowed by owner) outside of businesses. So rentals could allow it in units but could not in any of the common areas.
Haiiii, a non Bot here for all of you who don't want to read a 200 messages long thread where people get personally offendet on a wish of someone.
In short they are all saying that we should ignore exceptions and make the world only for the masses right.These commenters are probably also against ramps for disabled people since they take away their precious stairs.
If I got anything wrong, please post your stupid hate comments and let me laugh about you.
Edit: get a life and touch some grass, and not the one to smoke ;)
walking by someone smoking it makes me “high”
No it doesn't.
He's getting a context high

So do a lot of other things. This is not a usual reaction/sensitivity. You may be victim of a psychosomatic effect. I.e. give someone water and tell them it's alcohol and they will act drunk for they believe they are.
You might benefit from getting some help. In particular those symptoms may be something you are feeling subconsciously all the time or of some undigested trauma.
There are also people who feel bad seeing dogs, cars, trains rolling into stations and myriad other potentially dangerous things.

Forbidden everywhere? Even in places especially made for those who wish to smoke it? Sounds as valid as when religious people forbid unreligious ones to live their current lives as they please, since that would hamper the religious peoples beliefs otherwise.

Ah, a terrible take on prohibition. Have an upvote.
Alcohol makes me hung over and throw up, walking by a drunk person makese feel "nauseous". I doubt I'm the only one who feels this way, therefore it's harmful to others and should be forbidden.

Actually being unpopular to the point that it's getting down voted in the unpopular opinion community.
