How to deal with smoking passengers

I don't correct them directly as I don't want to start an argument, but I cover my nose and mouth. There are some who get the message but there are some who don't. I just ignore them even if I'm reslly annoyed. I don't want to ruin my day by arguing with these kind of people. They can be really stubborn and hardheaded you know, and won't accept it even if they do know they're wrong specially when there are a lot of people who can hear they're being corrected.

I am not sure if I am weird, but I do not like to smell smoke whole travelling. And I am a smoker. I thonk I would just like to respect those people who are non-smokers.

I don't imagine that would go over to big w/someone tat smokes. I'm a smoker & it wouldn't me.

It's hard to deal with those people, friend. Even if there is a law that prohibit to smoke in public places like that on the bus. There are still people that being stubborn and do not follow the regulations.

Talkative people are fine with me and we cannot avoid such kind of people while we're on public transport. But, I will not tolerate smokers. We all have the right to tell them not to smoke inside public transport. Every city has an ordinance regarding these rules of smoking in public places.

In India now, smoking in public transport is banned and is a punishable offence. So at present, we the Indians, no longer face this problem of smoking in public transport. It is no doubt a positive action taken by our government.

In my country they have actually made it illegal to smoke on any transport system! So you can travel by bus, train, metro, boat and no one smokes, you cannot even smoke on platforms either. It's wonderful for those that don't smoke. Whenever I travel on transport I usually have my headphones on so I don't get annoyed by anyone who should want to talk.

It is very annoying that someone smokes in the public transportation. In fact today it is already prohibited to smoke in public. Namely you can't smoke in the bus, subway, restaurants and so on. However, a few people may ignore it. Since I am not a smoker and I really hate the smoking smell, I will just tell the smoking passengers to stop smoking directly.

I am not young, but ever since I can remember there is a law in my country against smoking in public buses. We had that law when everyone could smoke in planes or in taxis. As for people to talk, they don`t much bother me.

I don't think I'm that brave to tell a fellow passenger to stop smoking or to do anything that annoys me. The most I would do is to just change seat or perhaps just complain to the driver and let the driver deals with the situation. I'm not confrontational and I don't like to get people into trouble.

Well actually smoking in the public transport in my city is illegal,so to deal with this problem for me is easy because all of the passengers will yell to this guy and let him stop smoking. And as for your another question,I think talk in the bus is the right of passengers so we can not interrupt them from doing this.

I usually stay quiet though, you may never know what they'll respond if you remind them not to smoke for example, but I will make sure to stay away from annoying passangers at the bus or any public transportation. Although usually if they are annoying enough, there will be someone who remind them anyway, but more often when someone did remind them, that annoying one will be angry and that person who remind him will also be angry...Well I usually a person who just stay put except that annoying person violated something from me.

I actually have never done public transpotation where you could smoke but I have rode the local bus and the talkative people that talk to you about things you don't care about is so annoying. Its different if you are having a conversation but i hate when someone on the bus will tell me what's going on with there life. I guess some people just need someoen to talk to but i got my own problems to worry about. Now, I hate riding in a car with a smoking passenger I am allergic to cig smoke and it drive me nuts even when the windows are down the smell kills me and makes my nose stuffy.

It is not possible to correct people who are in smoking and talking when the place is a public place that allowing people to smoke. But, if it is a no smoking and no talking, you can correct them to stop smoking and talking. The best solution is to ride your own can and ride wherever you like.

I think just openly covering your nose will give him the message. You're not being rude that way but you are just trying to protect yourself from the hazard.

After almost 6 years living in the Philippines and using much public transport I can tell I NEVER saw people smoking in the vehicle.But ok, that's Northern Luzon. Might be diiferent in Your area. But I guess you can alwyas ask in a polite way if they kinfly could stop poisoning you.

Normally,I keep distance with those people.It's unwise to remind them smoking at public is not allowed.Only few people can accept stranger's comments,sometimes,they will conflict with you. Generally,major public places have the signal "NO SMOKING",but still someone break it.No offense ,I think the behavior is link to their self-centered awareness. I don't against somking if they wouldn't cause damage to others health.

i will tell them do not do this.There is too much people.so please stop it
