Smoking in a queue / at a bus stop

I appreciate there aren't many places where you can have a cigarette indoors these days, but when people are queueing and can't get away - not without losing their place, anyway - it's really inconsiderate of people to smoke.

(Ideally I'd like phone conversations on loud speaker to be banned as well, but I'm probably expecting too much.)

AIBU to think this is highly antisocial?

But smoking rooms made more sense then people aren't walking through clouds of smoke in door ways. But people who are anti smokers didn't want that. You need to remember some people at hospital are having the worst day of their lives would you really begrudge a grieving mother who just watched her child die a cigarette

I’m not anti smoking. I’m an occasional smoker (mainly because I can’t seem to quite give up!) But seriously can’t you understand that someone with severe breathing problems could be made much worse by smoking? And another parent could lose their child as a result??? I get what you mean but it’s not practical.

Walking past someone smoking or vaping outside will not effect asthma anymore then car fumes will so id be surprised if someone with such severe asthma would be even able to leave the house.
