daw@feddit.orgto Europe@feddit.org•Greece passes law to jail people for selling alcohol or tobacco to childrenEnglish3·12 days agoDespite the blatant bait I’m going to take it: do you have any idea how much damage addiction to these substances costs the overall economy of a country? It’s a lot and the earlier people start the heavier the addiction is going to be.

Check this for either overall per capita or consumption based in the second part

daw@feddit.orgto Europe@feddit.org•France bans smoking in parks, beaches and bus stopsEnglish51·24 days agoI am sorry but as a pet peeve of mine I have to point out that gentrifying is maybe not a good choice of word here (which is why you probably placed it in quotes). Not everything which makes places more friendly to the general public is gentrification it refers to a process of pioneering the tractivity of an area subsequently followed by an increase in costs which drives out the original pioneers (if they do not keep pace economically) as a person studying urban planning and related stuff I think that the word gentrifying is used inflationary in recent times and is loosing a bit of its meaning 😅.
I do agree that parks should be inclusive and that means that cigarette smokes is an issue that has to be talked about. But I still think that blanket bans are not the way. maybe smokers areas like bbq areas. maybe time based phasing. maybe awareness campaigns? maybe a cultural shift that it is okay to tell smokers that one is bothered and of smokers to be more thoughtful of their second hand smoke? I feel like this people being bothered by other people is present in so many ways and in some people wouldnt even think about blanket bans and fines or it differs heavily between countries. TikTok on speaker in public places, bt-speakers with music, public alcohol consumption, reving your car, motorcyclist noise, body odor, live streaming etc pp a lot of stuff either is a huge problem or not depending on if people are considerate
daw@feddit.orgto Europe@feddit.org•France bans smoking in parks, beaches and bus stopsEnglish95·24 days agoParks for me is also a bit of a headscratcher. Maybe something like banned in parks between 6:00 am to 21:00 pm could be a more differentiated solution?
I understand also the “your freedom ends where my freedom starts” but that is a two way statement IMO. Yes you should not smoke where you will bother other people, but if somebody wants to smoke in public (after considerations for children and littering have been made) its also their freedom that should not be impeded without good reason in a blanket way.
Personally I do not like dogs and feel significantly impeded in many freedoms due to their unquestioned ubiquity in public spaces. Your freedom to own a dog ends where my freedom to not be bothered by fear, noise and shit all over the place starts. sadly my freedom in this case is so far not respected enough by any means, but I still would not want them to be blanket banned in public spaces. I mean I personally would enjoy that but I do recognise that its also the freedom of other people to own a dog. I think similar arguments can be made about smoking…

Actually i think the effort they are making is cool. It goes well beyond piracy and I think is a good idea esp in face of the world rn.

Nothing hotter than a sensible and differentiated world view whilst politicised at the same time
