Smoking in public places

 This topic is rather problematic nowadays. We have a global pandemic going on and said illness not only transfers by fluids but also air carries it. So smoking would only make it worse, as your saliva sticks into the cigarette and the smoke that comes out expands the virus. However, restrictions have been made for some specific reason, right? It is recommended to smoke almost 4 meters away from people in open spaces. Obviously, it is not allowed indoors. Other than that, as someone who smokes, I did not mind people smoking around me right until covid was a thing. Now I kind of save myself a disappointment and smoke on my own or only near people that I live with. Like, my family, and my partner.
