Question for smokers or those whose parents smoke: Do you find this mother irresponsible/bad, or how would you feel if this happened to you?

We were sitting in a tent and at the next table there was a (I assume) mother with (I think) her son/around 17, talking on the phone and smoking.

She exhaled the smoke so slowly, not directly into his face, but just slightly upwards over him so that it went over his hair, but it was a full drag and a thick cloud and a lot of smoke.

Do you think that was intentional, or was it just a casual breath?

And do you think that's a bad thing, or does that make you a bad mother? How would you feel as a son?

Whether in the smoker or non-smoker, it is a breath, even if it is mixed with smoke that you can see, every person breathes something, whether it is a pleasant smell or not, doesn't matter here. Do you always control 100% in which direction you breathe? Smoke can be seen and out of courtesy you can't blow anyone into his face, but how is it when I have taken a mouth spray that stinks for most people? No one can see breath, but smell and in most cases it is as unpleasant, but that doesn't bother and you breathe further in the direction of his counterpart, even if it gets bad from a beer flag or anything else. Only with smokers you get up because you can see it.

It is not about seeing it, it is unhealthy and calls itself passive smoking

I grew up in a time when dad's smoked chain in the car. With closed window. With the children backseat. I'm relaxed.

The son is also old enough to get away when the smoke is disturbing him.

Why would he just sit down because the mother is irresponsible? I mean, they're here because they want to sit together.

He seems to have been less disturbed than you. Vl the guy smokes himself and doesn't have it right now. Besides, you don't care what other families do. That's what the two have to do. I'm opposed to smoking a mother next to her baby, it can't resist, but with 17 you can. And if you don't, it doesn't bother you.

then the people who are directly affected, so in this case the Son, should open the mouth when he feels disturbed.

And you're not going to

We are in Germany, here everyone can say his opinion 😉

I just said that it is irresponsible no matter how old the person is, of course we don't know if the son smokes too.

but at 17 you can

Yeah, you can smoke at 14 and now?

And if you don't do that, it doesn't bother you.

But of course there are people that bother.

Probably she made it out of thoughtlessness, my mother also smokes but she always goes to the roof terrace or under the carport, depending on the weather.

You don't need to interfere in the privacy of other people. The as good as adult son did not ask you for help.

That was a vape. They steam so that you think the tent burns off.

I don't think I'm researched yet, but I'm careful!

No, it's not okay, just as little as there is a harmless radiation dose.

ChatGPT says something completely different:

Yes, the steam from e-cigarettes (vapes) can be harmful to health. Although many people consider vapes less harmful than conventional cigarettes, inhaling steam is not without risks. The steam often contains harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, acrolein and diacetyl, which can arise when e-liquids are evaporated. These substances can irritate the respiratory tract and cause long-term health damage such as respiratory diseases or cardiovascular problems.
