Grrrrr smokers!!!

I agree with you oldchem that so many smokers are inconsiderate as to how they dispose and or smoke near others. Although I am a smoker, trying really hard to quit, I am very conscious about when, where and how I smoke. I never do it in public and or expose anyone to my second hand smoke. If ever I have smoked and am going to approach anyone I immediately wash my hands and spray a touch of perfume and I kid you not that when and if people discover that I am a smoker they are instantly fooled as I am one to wash my hair daily. Although I am a smoker I am very conscious about the stench and I wish other smokers were as considerate as well.

Our county has a smoking ban so far in front of buildings and more smoking bans going into effect but noone pays any attention to them. I am not even sure that ehy are enforced. Signs are up saying NO SMOKING and people are standing in front of them smoking. Many businesses are now smoke free too. There is more enforcement there as the business owners have to enforce it. Hopefully, the man learned to be more careful after the 'scare' even if he did run off. I remember back when my kids were little we went to a 4th of July fireworks show and we were sitting in the car waiting for the show to start with the windows down. Someone threw a sparkler and it came straight at our window! I was holding our baby! THANK GOD it hit the side of my door and didn't come through the window and on her. I couldn't put the window up, we had power windows and the car was off and to put it up the car had to be running! I have been very very careful of going to firework shows after that, to the point that we barely went, or at least never in a large crowd. WE always went and parked on a hill far away but so we could still see.

I get upset at my husband over such things all the time. He's not supposed to smoke in the house, yet I find butts in the toilet when I get home from work. He puts his butts in my front flower bed when he's done and I certainly don't appreciate it either! I tell him he needs to sit at my flowerbed in spring and pick all them out before I plant it again. I'm glad your Grand Daughter is ok. Better that the collar was ruined than her skin burned. But still lack of common sense and courtesy tward others can cause greater harm than people seem to believe.

Hiya chem, Just seen the Photo what a lovely outfit too that Collar seemed to have saved her from being hurt yes. No one here is allowed to smoke where Children are around any more. They still do it but it´s just a question of time before the new Law kicks in so to speak. Maybe they will learn to be more considerate too.

I understand what you feel and I feel the same way to inconsiderate smokers too! Well, as we all know that smoking is bad for the health - - they should be at least respect those people around them. It is rude and unrespectful to puff their smoke around people especially if a baby or a child is around. Passive smoking has worst damage you know. Smoking is addictive. It causes cancer. t destroys your looks and it does not make you cool, it makes you old. It is an allergen to some and causes respiratory disease if allergic. The bad outweighs the good and you are just killing yourself slowly while you are still alive. Smokers does know these things, they are just ignoring these.

Man, I hate people who smokes in public places. I think their brain if affected with smoke because they can't think rationally. I don't care if other people can inhaled there smoke which is twice as dangerous the smoke they are inhaling. I wish there will be a law in the world, that only a private or designated place where in people can smoke and you when you smoke in a public place you will be jailed for a year. I will they'll make such a law.

They should be banned from smoking beyond their own home. I hate inconsiderate smokers who spread their smoke to innocent folks around and dispose their litter anywhere they want. I believe it should be considered a crime to smoke around innocent people. Why? Because they are in a way killing them with their second hand smoke!
