Re: What Are They Going To Ban Next????
One reason I don't sit on those benches in front of the Town Hall in the nice weather is that they are facing the road and I can smell the traffic fumes which I don't find at all pleasant. I prefer to choose not to smell or breath in things which I find unpleasant never mind whether or not they are harmful.
Yes of course the smoker is taking in far more smoke that the "couple of whiffs" or great billowing clouds that I get second hand but my point there is that I don't want it. The smoker wants it. They choose it. I have it thrust upon me even though I don't want it.
I used to work opposite someone who chain smoked and all during that time I had a persistent cough. When I was transferred the symptoms eased off and then disappeared. His smoking made me suffer. I just don't see it as acceptable. I don't object to what smokers choose to do to themselves, only what they do to others who have no option but to suffer it.
