I wish you could sue smokers!

Hi,
A major vent from me, I am an ex smoker, gave up in June 2006 and I am so glad that all the new laws have come in but I don't think it goes far enough.
I am totally fed up of walking along and some smoker standing there having a cig then blowing the smoke right into my face as I pass them or am stuck walking behind or they are walking towards me, why should I have smoke blown towards me or even in my direction to have to inhale?!!??
I choose not to smoke, they choose to smoke so I don't think I should be forced to!

Grrrr :mad:

    I had a really annoying experience with a smoker in a bus shelter recently. I was stood with my younger brother (8 years old) and a lady was smoking in it, i asked her to move outside the bus shelter whilst she finished her cigarette and got back aload of abuse! I didn't want a confrontation or my brother to listen to language like that so we ended up standing outside the shelter! I have no problem with people smoking but some smokers really need to be a little more considerate. I can't stand the smell of smoke and there is nothing worse than being behind a smoker when its windy - gross!! I don't think they realise just how horrid some people find it.

    I'd imagine lung cancer is probably more annoying than a whinger.....

    I agree with Colliefrog, in addition the reason there is so many smokers outside is because we can't smoke inside anymore.

    Just be grateful you don't live in Amsterdam! You might just get a little high too man.

    I heard them discussing it on Clive Bull (LBC). If you want to smoke pure marijuana you can stay inside the coffee shop. If you want to mix it with tobacco, because of the smoking ban you have to go outside!
