Late Wednesday, Brown signed the bill raising the age for tobacco use, including vaping, to 21, the Associated Press reports. He also vetoed a bill that would have asked voters to divert tobacco taxes to pay for the health expenses of those with tobacco-related ailments, according to the Los Angeles Times.

    >Myself, I smoke weed

    Jesus Christ, and you're bitching about the smell of cigarettes. What the fuck? Get off your high horse, man. Do you have any idea how much weed stinks, and how you affect other people with your weed smoke? You're just as bad as the nicotine junkies, you just burn different stuff.

    Irrelevant. When I smoke weed I'm very far away from everyone else. It's even windy most of the time. If necessary, I take a shower after smoking, but that rarely is unless I've "hot boxed" it in a room or car. Again, that room or car is my property, so I'm removing myself from everyone else. Anytime there is somebody else to be affected, the most that they're upset about is the lack of passing the joint/bong.

    You act as if I would smoke weed in a movie theater, a plane, or a restaurant. Never in a million years, especially since weed can be consumed. However, some vapers are insistent that they can do just that.

    I'm not on a high horse, as I'm extremely careful about my use, and extremely aware and considerate of those around me when I do so. I don't allow the smoke to affect other people, so you're statement is irrelevant and baseless.
