    The “selfish” argument goes both ways, you’re just as selfish for telling people what they can do with their own body as they are for blowing smoke in your face

      It does go both ways, but saying “my body, my right” when what you’re doing has a physical, unhealthy effect on the people around you I’d argue is more selfish than my wanting you to stop.

      Imagine if people just stood outside of buildings constantly coughing and spluttering germs at you whenever you walked past. You’d want them to stop, no?
