If someone is found smoking in public places, What action can we take?

approach them and tell them with choked voice and tears in your eyes " you are killing me!!!".

you should not get close to that person because the smoke will kill you....plus if you bother that person he will probably beat you up.

Did the idea of being a man and minding your own business cross your mind?

Just a thought from an ex smoker who has not become convinced that the world revolves around him

No, it's not banned in all public places. I think it is a city by city decision. And on private property, such as restaurants, it is an owner by owner decision.

In my city in Texas, people can still smoke in public... and many restaurants still allow smoking in designated smoking areas.

So, around here, if you see someone smoking in public, either bum a cigarette from them and join them, or just keep walking.

You could try thanking them for supporting schools, roads, and many other programs that taxes on tobacco support.

YOU my friend are an idiot!!!! How does that feel? probably not very well ( unless of course you actually are an idiot, then your welcome). But seriously if this stament offended you then you could surely realize how much it would offend the smoker if you jumped up on your soap box and started "harrassing" said smoker. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

By the way I'm not a smoker I'm just tired of the petty B.S. that people b!@tch about these days.

Hey, I'd rather be a smoker than walk around sniffing everyone's clothes and being judgemental. The media has convinced your impressionable minds to fear and loathe smokers. Soon there will probably be an ad campaign on the telly saying "if you smoke, you are a rapist!" I wouldn't be at all surprised.

if they are smoking in an enclosed public place and you can identify the owner of that property politely advise him what the problem is and let him / her, deal with it, he/she is the one who has to pay substantial fine if he/she, does not prohibit this on his/her property.if of course identification of the owner is not possible then, remove yourself from the area, leave the arrogant person to continue their filthy habit.

He should be manhandled by the people present there and hand over him to police. There is no need to conduct any court proceedings on him since it has a Public evidence. The Police can simply punish him for sweeping the roads atleast for 3 days in the public areas where he is residing . People should be civilised and feel responsible to do the same and the Government/courts shall make the law accordingly. Police and other Government authorities shall be loyal enough not to misuse the above law. Public should react violently if any government servant does the same.

Leave him alone,the taxes he pays give him the privledge.

piche se kaan ke neeche do ghuma ke maaro aur kuch kahe to muh pe maaro, he will surely learn, n tell him to eat that cigarette... tab uss bevkuf ko achi tarah samajh aa jayegi

First off, I'm a smoker....and yes, obviously I'm stupid.

If a person is violating your clean air you can contact law enforcement to issue a citation.

Usually, when I smoke, find myself smoking by dumpsters and low traffic areas...which just simply shows how dangerous second hand smoke is.

I have tried to quit multiple times, but in the end, I end up succumbing to the addiction (wish me luck though, I'm on my 16th attempt to quit).

How about you go the other way and leave people alone? How about you worry about yourself and corecting the problems in your life instead of bothering people who you don't even know.

Ask for one puff..

if it is banned, you could possibly get a ticket if a cop enforces it. Similar to driving without a seatbelt on in some states.

Its banned in substantially enclosed public places.
If it's an open public place and there are no restrictions then there's not a lot you can do.
