Dumb question: why would someone w/ASD (or anyone) smoke? I mean it's addictive, it smells bad (and yes I've smelled vaping before, doesn't mean I wanna f**k up my health being around it), it harms your health and those around you and it can kill you (both my mom and grandfather smoked and the former died of lung cancer). Also re: the odor of regular tobacco anyway, when I'm around someone who's smoked, I can smell it in the air, on their clothes, the worst is being trapped in a confined space w/someone who's done that
I have an NT friend who once said to me "smokers should be shot on sight". Now I don't share that view, but honestly if you wanna relax w/some kinda substance, why not alcohol or something? At least then you don't f**k up other people's health too. And in a way vaping is worse b/c it's deceptive, both in the way f*****g tobacco companies market it to minors as some kinda cool, nice smelling thing and b/c you (again) expose others to the same crap they put in that or any other kind of tobacco product. I've never touched tobacco, never will and just don't see the point of anyone doing it. Just stop already!
I'm in whole hearted agreement
