Does smoking bother you?

[Nicola]

I hate walking into college every morning through all the smokers, it's awful.

I don't agree with smoking but I won't kick up a fuss about someone stood next to me smoking. I hate the smell of it though so if it's get really bad I'll stand a bit further back or just go else where.

It doesn't really bother me I only get annoyed if someone blows it in my face... I actually think the whole smoking ban thing has made it worse because before you had a choice 'I'll go into the pub smoke doesn't bother me' or 'I won't go into the pub I hate the smell' now it's more like 'I don't want to go into the pub... but I still have to walk through the massive crowd of smokers outside anyway..'

If someone blows it in your face then yeah. I remember when I was smoking at lunch once and this guy who gave me the cigarette was just blowing the smoke in my face the whole time we were walking to the shop

yeah hate going to smoking shelters in pubs and clubs.. its like being suffocated. in like yr 9/10 used to go to u18 nights at places where there was smoke everywhere i cant believe it was once allowed. =/

[Caution]

It doesn't bother me at all. I think people go a bit far with it tbh.

Yeah I hate it. When someone walks past me smoking normally I just cough loudly.

I get irritated by it sometimes but often its my choice to stand by smokers so I cannot complain and its their choice to smoke anyway. I think the smoking ban should be repealed because its another case of 'nanny knows best' from the state;- I mean you cant (by law) rent a room and have a smoking club but you can organise group sex orgies whenever you wish. The fact of the matter is, a pub is (or historically has been) for people to drink and have a smoke and I see no reason for government to tell pub owners how to run their public houses - especially when pubs are shutting down every week.

It's conflicting interests really. Pubs can arguably be considered a nicer atmosphere without smoke. Not sure what the cause for the sudden dislike in pubs is though. People seem to just be going off them, whether or not it's because of the smoking ban.

I've been around it all my life. As long as people aren't rude about (blowing smoke in your face etc) it's fine. I heard about some women who were smoking in a car, with a child and with ALL the windows rolled up. I myself have never known anybody to smoke in a car without rolling the window down - as long as people use common sense like that it's cool. The worst thing about the smoking ban is how huge groups of people congregate at the front door of places to smoke. That can't be a good idea.

It bothers me tbh, i dont fancy breathing in someone elses smoke
It's absolutely Horrid, especially when blown in your face +o(
