Well, one thing to consider, seems these days, it is OK to smoke marijuana but not tobacco.

So, I believe until it is illegal to put 'smoke' into your lungs, anything goes. But, as some US businesses are doing, increase Medical Costs for people who smoke anything. Hard to verify since I know of a few people who lie about smoking to avoid the increased rates. At least that is a start.

What are some examples/places you've seen that have simultaneously allowed marijuana smokeing but discouraged tobacco smoking? In my country the signs are just "no smoking" they don't say what

I have seen people public smoking to leave or get a ticket with a small fine. I have yet to see that for marijuana.

Also peer pressure, marijuana OK, tobacco not.
