A fine politician you'll make.
I agree mind you on the point that it isn't harmful in open air. Yet to your original point I still feel a negative impact is still there.
You've gone from negative impact to significant discomfort to harm. These are not synonyms. Smoking in the open air indeed may not harm me but I do say it has a negative impact. Smoking inside does harm and cause significant discomfort. Which effect would you like to argue?

I am talking about smoking in unconfined spaces or alone. I am talking about harm.
My answer perfectly matches the question you asked in the context of the thread. It may not have matched the question which you intended to ask, but I cannot reasonably be expected to make inferences based upon oblique implications.
