Oh dear, that old chestnut.

Ask any actuary, it costs more to society for people not to smoke as smokers die younger.

This is not necessarily true. Individual cost for a smoker can be much higher.

http://www.livescience.com/health/true-cost-of-smoking-101027.html

In Spain, a pack of cigarettes costs between $4.20 and $5.60 (€3 to €4). But factor in the cost of a premature death – a cost borne solely by the smoker – and the price tag for a pack rises to $150 (€107) for men and $105 (€75) for women.

It's banned in other countries. Makes perfect sense. It's the same thought as banning smoking in the bus.

I think your post maybe untrue and uncalled for..

Nothing wrong with smoking at bus stops. I do it all the time but with consideration for others close by. As a smoker it does annoy me to be standing under the shelter and someone puffing away near me. It is inconsiderate and similar to actually smoking on the bus itself.

OP, you should have a word with the city planner to see if you can get bins with ash trays near bus stops moved another 10 metres down the road to prevent such hassle!

Calm down now.

What should you do if your girlfriend starts smoking??














Slow down and use a lubricant!

“Before going into retirement, I shall order that all the cigarette packets on sale in Europe should have on the label, in letters of fire, the slogan: 'Danger, tobacco smoke kills; danger: Cancer.”

Yes, you guessed it :pac:

Yes. Yes i have. She's that strumpet milkmaid at the bus stop. With the hatchet-shaped face.

I agree it's obnoxious to light up a cigarette under a bus shelter, but smoking some bit away from other people waiting on a bus is fair enough. Policing people smoking outdoors would be a bridge too far. If it's raining though, make do without a smoke.

Ah, apologies so..


I just think that sometimes AH gets a bit over the top...

Isn't it supposed to be like chatting to people in the pub?

Hence if you wouldn't imply that someone is a intolerant hatchet-faced wench to their face, I just think it's a bit unfair saying it in type..

But hey, that's just my opinion..



I'm going out for a smoke now..

Not even allowed smoke in my own house.. :rolleyes:
Let alone a bus shelter..

I wonder. Even so, the government shouldn't be gambling the health of its citizens against tax income from them.

Have you read all my post ? If you have then you should notice that i have acknowledged that people do have the right to smoke if they so wish !! What i am suggesting is that it is very unfair to smoke in a confined area where people congregate such as a bus stop !! Why do you think the smoking ban was brought in ? I don't wish to ban people smoking but i do think it wouldn't be a bad thing to extend the ban to areas such as bus stops. I accept it would be near impossible to enforce but it might attach more of stigma to it. At rush hour on a rainy evening i have seen up to twenty people huddle in under a small shelter and in those conditions if one were to start smoking with so many people in such close proximity the smoke does not have much room to dissapate does it ? Therefore i don't think its unreasonable to expect people to refrain from smoking in a bus shelter! Smoke out in the open all you want !!!

This, is not a confined space, I'm happy that you must live in a palace and have come accustomed to having aches all to your self but to the rest of the world confined means enclosed.

Outside the smoke will dissipate and will not cause any damage to any part of your body.

You will only develop problems from smoking by prolonged exposer so your whole argument boils down to the fact you don't like it.

Your crying over spilt milk.

Why should we make do without a smoke? You stand in the rain if you don't like it tbh

To be honest, this thread has nothing to do with smoking and all to do with manners. I smoke. I try to distance myself from others when I do. It's just good manners and me Mammy would bate me for being rude!

But ffs, if I'm smoking and you come along after me, don't tut because I'm smoking already. That's a guarantee I'm not moving as I would naturally do in every other circumstance, because you don't have the same manners I had planned on extending to you.

Also -- to those who keep saying smoking around someone is like trying to murder them, get a bloody grip! The concentration of carcinogenic material airing from one cigarette in open-air circulation is minute and is not going to kill you or, in fact, negatively impact upon your health in any way.

ETA: And yes, I will smoke in the rain if there's even one other person in the shelter. Non-smokers and smokers should still remember that courtesy goes both ways.

Know what I hate....when your standing at a bus shelter minding your own business and a car drives by releasing harmful CO2 into my face, Vehicles should be banned from passing people on the pavement :rolleyes:.........COP ON!!!!!

Non smokers should be banned from bus stops. They make me feel uncomfortable when Im smoking.
As long as the government endorses the sale of tobacco, then us smokers have every right to smoke outside.

On a personal note, I find the stench of perfume from women at bus stops to be really nauseating. It should be banned. I'd much rather the smell of B.O. over the stench of perfume on the bus.
Ban it now. The fumes may also cause cancer.

You pack that with twenty people at rush hour and it most certainly is confined space !!!

It must be awful for you to have to stand there.

Why not wait for the bus in a pub seeing as you already won that battle?

Yeah because so many buses run through pubs!!! Silly argument !!!

It doesn't really matter how many people are standing there. Unless they've joined together to form a human shed all around you it's not confined. The smoke comes out of their mouth and disappears into thin air. You may get the smell of smoke but it'll have no effect on you other than allow you to become annoyed.

We should probably just nip this on the bud and ban combustion of atoms.

That's it sure, smoke just magically vanishes, pollutants magically disappear. :rolleyes:
