Passive smoking is a huge problem in Germany, especially since there aren't many rules about smoking in public places (yeah, some spots have those yellow lines, but smoke travels further than a drink, you know?). For example, I was walking once and some guy was puffing away right in front of me. To get away from it, I either had to speed up or cross to the other side of the street (the wrong side!).

Think I’ll start carrying a small fire extinguisher to blast at addicts who inflict their filthy tobacco or vape fumes on me on the footpath. “It was self defence, your honour.“

I’ve got a new idea for drones and AI: fly around the CBD and when they detect cigarette or vape exhalations, zoom down and suck them up to stop them being inflicted on others. #PassiveSmoking

I so wish City of Melbourne would adopt the smoking booths of Tokyo to reduce the second hand smoke/vape fumes inflicted on others. #Melbourne #CityOfMelbourne #PassiveSmoking #RightToFreshAir #PublicCourtesy

Passive smoking leads to ~10,700 early deaths per year in the UK. So I think that measures to prevent people who do not smoke being exposed are called for.

But traffic pollution leads to over four times the early deaths from passive smoking (~48,625 early deaths per year in the UK). Surely reducing this should be greater priority?

Ministers consider tighter rules on smoking outdoors

The government says it is considering a range of measures to "make the UK smoke-free".

Glad that in today's King's Speech #Labour has included "A Bill will be introduced to progressively increase the age at which people can buy cigarettes and impose limits on the sale and marketing of vapes" - Tobacco and Vapes Bill

I never smoked a single cigarette, but still developed cancer, probably due to #passivesmoking. Having half a lung removed because others smoke is a hell of a punishment.

I hope it will be astonishingly rare in the lives of today's children.
