    As an asthmatic who gets attacks from all forms of smoke, I’d be happy if they outright banned it. Then enforcement would be easy too, anyone smoking would be breaking the law.

      Thankfully (for me) smoking has collapsed in the UK in the last decade or so. A lot of that is down to vaping. Unfortunately, it’s almost entirely the conscientious smokers who changed over. The end result is I would rather try and move on a bunch of heroin addicts than a group of smokers. They also have an annoying habit of standing upwind, rather than downwind.

      That’s pretty much spot on.

      They were all given the chance to be respectful. You can’t even go shopping without breathing in smoke though, and I’m tired of cleaning up cigarette butts, even in parks. It might only be a few people doing it, but the rest of the smoking community aren’t holding them accountable
