No I hate it. My mom does it and my step mom as well. I bitched at my dad until he quit so that was good.
Then again if you smoke it is your life, so I do not care if you f*!k it up.
Try using the Poll feature on here. Its self simple. If you have as 3rd grade education you can figure it out.

I hate people who hate smoking.
I'd walk a mile for a Camel, baby.

Ah, fascism strikes again.
I am sick of hearing this debate. Yes I smoke. No I have no intention of giving up. Maybe someday, but not today. Why then, should my life be dictated by people who don't smoke? Yes, we hear all the arguments about the effects of passive smoking and, if I smoke in public, I try to make sure that passersby don't get a lungful of my smoke (especially children). But that's not because I fear they may drop dead from instant lung cancer, that's just me being considerate. Are you shocked? That a smoker could actually think of someone other than their own nicotine fuelled selves? The vast majority of the population of the UK would be, I think. Certainly the way our government are going on about it. As a result, we are treated as second class citizens. Once it used to be fine smoking at your desk while you worked, then we all got shifted to some tiny room with permanently opened windows, regardless of outside temperature, and now we've been pushed outside with instructions not to stand in doorways but to use the bus shelter type stands (by law it can only have 2 walls before it is classed as enclosed and therefore can't be smoked in) which can only hold about 5 people before it starts overflowing and people start accidently burning each other's hair. If we get a shelter at all, that is, and are not made to stand around in the rain.

This is pretty much all I ask of smokers. I don't expect them to stop just because a non-smoker is in the room, but at the same time, I'm not bothering them by not smoking so I expect the same level of courtesy.
I'm sorry that you don't get regular shelters Bort, but it really isn't anyone's worry to build one to encourage a bad habit. If not having a shelter really bothers you this much, you could quit smoking. Then you would have no need for a shelter.

I think I know what Bort means. When the ban came into force in the UK and the smokers were pushed outside the rules concerning these shelters were unveiled, and seemed to be a bit of a piss take. I'm sure if no shelters had ever been mentioned then no one would have thought about it, but the amount of regulation that a glorified bus top is subject to seems to be a joke until you get fined.
For the record, I do smoke currently, but will be quitting before the end of the summer due to a new family arrival

I don't mind people smoking as long as they don't smoke in enclosed areas like bus shelters (sorry Bort but some people are actually allergic to the smoke and many more are disturbed by it) and as long as they don't throw the damned cigarette-butts on the ground. How hard can it be to put it out and throw it in the garbage. (Naturally smokers aren't the only people litterring).

It's not the shelters that is annoying. I live in the UK, so am used to being outside in the rain. Still though, you say it isn't anyone's worry to build a shelter to encourage people to smoke. Fair enough, but what about the people who already smoke? What right do people have to deny them a shelter?
The problem I have is the stigmatism (is that the right word?) associated with being a smoker. The 'You smoke therefore you must be trying to kill everyone and yourself' image the government over here is projecting onto anyone who smokes.
