To tell these smokers on the next sunbed to not smoke

Have been relaxing on my sunbed ( on holiday abroad). Couple just arrived. Sat down on next sunbed and have been chain smoking since. Im asthmatic- do I tell them? Or do I move? Why do they think this is ok when all the public health warnings tell them it’s not?

They are legally allowed to smoke there but it doesn’t make it right. I used have to get the bus for work years ago. Every morning I would walk in the office stinking of other people’s fag smoke because they would be smoke while waiting for the bus. There should be a designated smoking area. It’s not fair on other people of their children.

I don't necessarily think smokers are being selfish on purpose, I just don't think they realise how much it stinks as they are used to it. I'm an ex-smoker and before I gave up I didn't really notice how much my hair/clothes smelt. Now if I ever go into a smokers house, I notice it on my clothes after I've left.

OkPedro bioth my parents were heavy smokers. When I left home I became far more aware and sensitive to cigarette smoke, and my tolerance to the smell nosedived. So, yes, I did generally avoid places full of cigarette smoke.

It does make you more aware of it these days when you come across it because so many places are smoke free.
