Oh and people who smoke at bus stops.... you are WAITING for the bus... why do you need to smoke when the bus will come any minute?!?
as an ex smoker its usually to alleviate the boredom of waiting and also to feed the habit as you wont be allowed to smoke on the bus even though the trip will only last minutes

I havent smoked for about 3 yrs now and I now find myself hating people smoking in public places, it stinks and the smell always seems to stick to your clothes

theres a bingo hall up the road from me and at the intervals all the old biddies come out for a quick smoke, the street reeks of stale smoke (and oap pee )

I stopped smoking 2.5 years ago, and sometimes... just sometimes, I will walk past someone with a cigarette and think "oooh!"

And the other week at a party, my toothache was that bad, that I decided to have one. (What I thought ti would do for my toothache I dont know, because smoking certainly wouldnt have helped) But I changed my mind and gave it back before I lit it.

If people want to smoke whilst waiting for the bus, fine, but they shouldnt go and sit down on the seat next to a child and start smoking right next to them, its inconsiderate imo.

I was under the impression that it has been against the law for quite some time for anyone to smoke on a bus, quite regardless of the age of the person seated next to them

it is.

Doesnt stop them though.

Thats why I ended up arguing today, It is even against the law to smoke in the bus station, but people still do it.

You can have a few less rain drops on you, it makes all the difference you know!
