Passive Smoking

[Sidla]

Rather than a complete ban in public, I think it would be better to have designated smoking areas. Then non-smokers can avoid those areas completely.

To the smokers here, do you not realise how rude and inconsiderate it is to go and stand/sit next to someone and puff away. Do you do this in front of your non-smoking friends?

 

I know you cant help the direction of the wind, but a bit of common courtesy would be appreciated. I don't want YOUR fumes in MY face, if I did, i'd stand next to you!

Agreed... Trouble is though, that's an idea that's actually sensible and makes sense, the current Government are incapable of thinking like that IMO.

Hi, giving up smoker here. I'd like to point out that not all smokers are inconsiderate. A lot are, but for example, if i was ever at a bus stop smoking, i'd stand well away from everyone else. I usually didn't smoke apart from at home anyway.

Well done for giving up, i'm sure your wallet's a lot healtheir these days

 

I know not all are inconsiderate, I should have mentioned that, but some REALLY are. I wonder if the smoking is an extension of their personality... (for the inconsiderate ones)

Don't consider myself given up yet, still early days. Got to admit a lot of smokers have always annoyed me. like the kids that will get on a train and spark up, then get off 2 mins later. like they couldn't wait 2 mins.

If smoking is banned in public places I plan to place a large curse on everyone giving them as much grief as I will endure listening to the husband whinging about his rights to kill himself.

Hehe, it's not his right to kill himself that's the problem tho' - he (and other smokers) don't have any rights to kill others!

Yeah, I hate that, especially people who smoke on busses. I don't really know what it's like around here because I don't really use busses in Sheff, but back where I live people smoke on the upper deck of the bus despite no smoking signs. It's not uncommon on a Saturday night to get people smoking weed on the upper deck, and it makes me feel extremely ill.
