It has secondhand smoke problems (like tobacco) which alcohol does not

THC has many more delivery methods than smoking leaf.
Edibles. Tinctures. Vapes. Salves.
Your argument isn’t very informed.

So does nicotine. That doesn't change the fact that most people smoke it making second hand smoke an issue.

A vape still produces vapor though which can be absorbed by strangers.
Also smoking leaf is the most common method by far

Only because thats usually how you end up with it in countries where its illegal. Common Joe doesn't have the skills and equipment to turn it to something non-harmful for consumption. I am amazed how quickly in US the oil vaping industry had developed, and how good the products are compared to old school consumption.
Compared to Netherland where this is cca legal for many years, and you can still only buy plants or cakes (which isn't ideal for quite a few reasons, ie hard to get right dosage first time). In fact, oil vaping cartridges are illegal there (no sense whatsoever, you can buy hashish which can be very potent).
I can guarantee you, tons of people who don't smoke cigarettes vastly prefer consumption with 0 carcinogens from burning the plant.

I haven't read any studies in this. Vapor absorbed by strangers must be extremely low or this would be a bigger issue.

Thank you for pointing this out. We decided years ago that people shouldn't be involuntarily exposed to smoke, which is carcinogenic and psychoactive. People were fine with it for tobacco, because smoking isn't really "cool" any more. Now all the young, "cool" people want different rules so they can smoke whenever and wherever they want to.
