This is why I get nauseous when I am around smokers.
I remember living in a big city when the law was passed. The city hall hired cleaners to remove the smell. I can't confirm the whole building as it's absolutely massive but I do remember seeing the smallest areas being scrubbed. Out of every building in the area it turned out the absolute best. 1 mcdonalds ended up remodeling the whole place but the smell was still a little faint.
Did you read the entire post? They clearly state multiple times that re-releasing would be fine too. They're saying if the companies aren't planning to do anything why not just set stuff to free there's no harm on the older consoles for doing so. If they release them on say the switch or Xbox we can atleast purchase them to have fun. Look at pokemon the entire community wants to play the old games but aren't able to unless they buy from a private seller.
