Yes, smoking in the car is rude and obnoxious.

The amount of anxiety you have over this though is more than likely causing you more harm than whatever is airborne from these people

OP's other posts are all about air pollution, "drug exposure," etc. Not to diagnose over the internet but seems like they need some professional help beyond reddit.

Even just making eye contact is enough to give you asbestos poisoning

You're riding the NYC subway and you're worried about a few minutes of second hand smoke?

If you shake your finger really hard and say "git!", they usually stop and scurry off.

I’d be more worried about the subway air quality reports than someone smoking in the train cars

I suggest you pull the emergency brake and tell everyone on the train your concerns, they will be sympathetic.

Drug use? Vaping/ smoking? Never seen it. Occasional drinking yes but nothing intrusive. Don’t know what you are talking about.

I've seen it, but not nearly as often as OP seems to. Often people will stink of weed but not be actively smoking, but it's rare for me to see anyone lighting up on the train (and when it happens it's usually cigarettes). Most people just respect that it's fuckin rude to smoke in an enclosed space with people. I HAVE walked into a subway car where people were fully attempting to hotbox, like, twice in my 10yrs here.

What OP really needs to worry about is ear protection! The subway is so loud that commuting regularly without protection will do long-term damage to your hearing. (I don't worry too much about it myself, but OP seems in the mood to worry about things.)

I had a lovely experience last month with a young adult (she looked around 19/21) vaping right next to me in a packed train. I side-eyed and sighed loudly, she then proceeded to breathe smoke into my face twice.

I agree, you should definitely leave the city.
