Summary

A straphanger pitches bringing back smoking indoors, though with a twist: let individual establishments choose to be "pro-cig" venues. Kareem isn't sold on the idea, pointing out that your clothes would reek and you'd be "breathing in disgusting toxins." The rider counters that toxins are everywhere anyway. Then things get weird. Kareem declares that anything you inhale into your lungs is bad, but anything you inhale "through your gums or eyeballs or butt cheeks is good." The conversation touches on smoky rooms, fog machines (which apparently smell terrible), and the case for optional smoking sections in restaurants and bars where people can opt in or out.

So what's your take? We should legalize smoking cigs inside? % I disagree. Cigs disgusting. Cigs disgusting. I don't like the smell of smoke, but it's more about the smoky room. You need the smoky room. Put a fog machine in there.

No fog machines smell terrible? It's like restaurants, venues, bars should be able to like have smoking section.

Oh, so you're saying bring back the smoking section? Or just establishments that are like only—only we we smoke cigarettes in this? Oh, establishments that are pro-cig. Yeah. So you can have—you can—you can or out. I can mess with this. I'm not going to any of those places because then your clothes smells bad, eyes are watering, you're breathing in disgusting toxins.

The toxins are everywhere. They're right here. These toxins don't smell out unless that guy finishes taking a hit over there. But look, I think anything that you inhale in your lungs is bad. I think anything that you inhale through your gums or eyeballs or butt cheeks is good.
