STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Can’t you smoke that somewhere else?

As news of marijuana legislation continues to swirl across the United States, a study conducted by BuzzFeed News and two other organizations says a strong percentage of Americans dislike the smell of marijuana.

“Just over half of Americans think the smell of weed in public has become a problem, and nearly a quarter of the country say they sincerely 'hate’ the stench while they’re out,” writes BuzzFeed News.

The media organization, along with PSB, in partnership with Civilized, Burson Cohn & Wolfe, interviewed more than 1,000 Americans and 600 Canadians on the topic of marijuana. While many (84 percent) support legalization for medical and/or recreational purposes, “they don’t necessarily want it in their face,” says the report.

For example, the pot scent in public is a major problem for 23 percent of Americans. Twenty-eight percent described the marijuana smell as a minor problem. Additionally, 28 percent also said it was “not really a problem” and another 21 perent said it was “not a problem at all," reports BuzzFeed News.

Canada, where marijuana is legal, also had a noteworthy amount of respondents who say the smell is a concern.
