Then I suggest you start fighting for vehicles being banned from operating within town limits while you're at it, cuz you inhale a lot more from them then you do from a smoker and contains much more poisons for your body.
The transportation is necessary evil the smoking is just evil.

I stand by several people waiting for the bus as I smoke and have no complaints as what you describe. I keep a decent distance from them, and I stay out of the shelter while I smoke
The people probably are too shy to say something anyway we not talking about you how can we be sure that every smoker will be considerate as you?
Quote:
Why should I change my behavior because you don't and it's my legal right to smoke in the first place?
That the problem that it’s legal. I argue it shouldn't be because in that way you hurt my individual rights by smoking and endangering my health.

Sorry, this planet isn't anymore your's as it is mine... and if you're worried about my little smoke here and there killing all the little pandas, then you best go and shove a cork into all the volcanos around the world, because the ammount of sulfur and other dangerous chemicals being spewed out of those everyday must be taking us to the brink of the planet cracking in half from all their pollution
Two wrongs don't make it right. We should illuminate the sources of the pollution that we can.

And I don't. There are desingated butt stops all over the city specifically for putting your butts into and to avoid littering. It'd be a waste of tax dollars if you're no longer allowed to smoke in public, as they'd all goto waste.
You didn't answer my point that you can not do anything that you like in a street just because you pay taxes.

ha ha.... that'd be a pile of fun cases to attempt to prove in court.... you know.... trying to relate without a reasonble doubt that all your poor health issues in your life are attributed to one smoker, and therefore that one smoker looses all their medical rights?

Might as well do the same thing for all those fat asses out there who can't stop eating for 5 minutes, or all those AID's patients.... cuz you know... it's all their fault they're the way they are.

How about instead of that, we make it so that when anybody ever requires medical treatment for anything, they have to prove to the doctors that they met a very stiff regulation that they met all their requirements for making sure they have the healthiest lives possible, and if not, refuse them treatment, because it's a waste of money.

Chances are, you'd be refused treatment for not being smart and staying away from smokers in the first place that gave you your health issues.

Might as well make drinking illegal once again.... cuz you know, that went over so well the last time.

Shall I also have to be responsible for the health effects my shits or farts cause when you are nearby and inhale the stink into your lungs? Damn that methane.
That my opinion how smokers should be treated because it feel that is a right way.

Remember people, shrike is in Israel, which has a far different outlook on individual rights
I don't know what about other Israelis but I think my individual rights are violated if someone is smoking near me without my approval.
