Smoking at Bus Stops should be banned

    Ya know what I hate? People who decide to have a cigarette at a bus stop, when there are loads of other people standing around waiting for their bus.
    We all have to stand there and inhale the filthy smoke, you can't get away from it either because you don't want to walk too far away from the bus stop, plus there's often wind pushing the smoke in your face. It's even worse when it's raining and people are squashed under a tiny bus shelter. Seems to happen every time I get a bus.

    I just think it's so rude and ignorant.
    Anyone else agree?

    You know whats worse, people visiting your house and smoke in it:mad:, so fecking ignorant.

    But bus stops are public places, so then they'd have to ban smoking in public. Not gonna happen.

    We all have to stand there and inhale the filthy smoke, you can't get away from it either because you don't want to walk too far away from the bus stop, plus there's often wind pushing the smoke in your face.


    - No you don't have to stand there. Walk a few feet away. No one is saying jog across the road.

    - Surely if there is wind just stand up wind from it...

    it is people like you that have this country in a mess. it's people like you that will have people banned from coughing in public next. people are entitled to smoke outside in the open if you don't like it move away from that person the air will blow the smoke away. i'm sick of assholes like you.

    Yeah just think if the loss to the exchequer and the massive profits to be made by criminal gangs, deck it let's ban milk too and news papers while we're at it.

    It's a public place outdoors, if it annoys you that much either ask the person to stand away from you or move yourself.

    While I agree with you in theory, I'd rather the government taxed something I didn't do than something I did. Which would happen if they banned it.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I don't think that it should be banned, but it is very annoying when a load of people are in a bus shelter and someone starts smoking, and on several occassions the smell has gottten into my hair and clothes which pisses me off a lot. If they could just not smoke in the shelter, or even turn away from people when they're smoking then it'd be fine. Banning it would be a bit far though, and unnecessary.

    What if there's a queue for the bus? Should I have to leave the queue just because you want to smoke?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,581 ✭✭✭✭TheZohanS


    It's gas, the you'll find the very same people that give out about smokers and the smell of smoke out in the smoking areas of clubs, pubs and bars most weekends.

    I find the smell of cheap perfume or people farting way more offensive, can we ban that too?

    The next thing you know, farting will be banned with that mentality - and I say that as a non-smoker.

    It would be the decent thing to do.
