That's not quite correct. There are environmental laws in place to protect you the "victim" here from other people's selfishness and lack of consideration. Legislation is unfortunately required bacause of this....

Perhaps from a legal point of view but where is understanding and tolerance in this? Assuming that legal activity is smoking then of course they are in their "right" to smoke but depending on where they do it and who it affects then they you would hope that they would be understand of who it affects. Unfortunately people don't hence legislation is required.

It's not pointless at all. We can talk about anything we like on this forum...besides I think it is inevitable, it's just a question of time....
