A bus shelter is technically an enclosed public place, so no smoking in a bus shelter.
I actually saw signs on bus shelters today !
This is persecution.

I don't personally use buses - I just thought the whole thing was getting a bit silly.

Ive been waiting for the day when you can wait for a bus thats never on time. It used to be that the person next to you was lighting up their 2nd cigarette already and she had a newborn child in a pram and there an old lady sat the other side of her with a cough. Just think that you need to be aware it is enclosed and that late bus is going to make others inhale and smell of smoke.

This law was passed years ago in Canada! If I'm going to be late for work waiting for the bus I just light up outside the roofed area and the bus comes!! Works like a charm!! Next they will be telling us we can't smoke outside now that would be persecution!!!

Oh well - just stand outside the bus shelter! and make sure you always have an umbrella with you now!!
Im a smoker and even before the ban I wouldnt have sat in a bus shelter and smoked over everyone in there!

Good!
Why should a mother with small children have to inhale second hand smoke just because someone else is 'dying for a f ag'. Take a couple of steps out. It's not hard. And if it's raining - more fool you. Give up.

okay, maybe you are referring to the English part of the UK as the smoking ban has been in Scotland, Ireland and Wales for over a year now.
So yes it is believable. I myself am a smoker and i think the bus shelter rule is a must have! I have two toddlers, why should they have to inhale passive smoke? I don't smoke in our house, so why suffer whilst we wait on a bus?

Yeah - see my question re. Cromer rail station (no smoking on the open platforms!). Even as a smoker, I do comprehend that non-smokers don't want our 2nd hand smoke in enclosed spaces - but to start dictating to us about what we do in the open air (and even trying to ban it from our own/council homes) is surely going against civil liberties? P.S. Further to my promise on my question, Ive got an appointment with the 'smoking cessation' nurse on Friday! Wish me luck?

Yes it's been like that here in Scotland since the no smoking ban! Mad! I could understand if it was completely enclosed but even the ones that are open at the back/sides/front are banned!

my understanding is that it has to be a four walled building bus shelters are usually only three sided but it is a public place .
