It's about time someone wanted to make it legal to smoke a legal substance in public. How about private clubs? Want to amend this bill to include that?

It would be nice to see private clubs allowed to make their own rules.
You can walk down a public street and smoke a cigar/cigarette, but you can't drink a beer. Conversley, you can have a beer at a bar, but you can no longer smoke. As long as it's done outside, who cares?
So what's your point? Alcohol is a legal substance. Try walking down a public street drinking a beer.
