It is a pita, it’s true. You have to register and have a password seemingly if you want to scratch your bum these days. For the older generation it must seem pretty bewildering
I'm afraid that you are slightly mistaken. Whilst smoking is not technically contagious, the effects of a smoker on a non smoker aka passive smoking can be serious.
Yes in that sense it is dangerous to others but smoking is still on the wain, deaths from smoking are therefore also in decline.
