Who are those smokers?
In the last 36 years I have seen very much around me. That gives me the right to draw some real conclusions.
There is some number of smokers who respect all other people and think about how, when and where it is OK to smoke. But believe me, there are many other "idiots" who really prove that a huge number of smokers are just non-cultivated persons who ignore the rest of the clean society. Why do I write clean? Because smoking is a dirty habit both for smokers and their surrounding as for the enviroment.
A perfect example that can prove what I wrote above and show how smokers think is simple:
Down at the train station people stand and wait for the next train. No one smoke. Suddenly one or two or three or ten people with the cigarettes come and take a place somewhere in the middle of other people and begin to pollute their enviroment. That is simply very abnormal but very usual behaviour.
Cameras at the train station can show the movies - if you think that I lie. There is also a sign that says something like: "Please avoid smoking here". It is not prohibited but the sign kindly asks the people not to smoke.
Nothing helps! Why does a smoker take 3 cigarettes in the time frame of 15 minutes? Only one is enough to get a little bit relaxed if it is needed. What causes their huge need of smoking 3 cigarettes in 15 minutes in a group of other non-smoking people and ignore them?
That is what being non-cultivated group of people actually mean. Unfortunately nothing but the fines are the only thing that can make changes.
Like in Berlin (as I understood on German Kabel1 TV) a smoker at the train station had to pay 10 Euros fine for smoking on the stairs. That was fair and cases like this will show that smoking one cigarette only can be very expensive! Hopefully that can help all of us!
If a "please" does not help, then the punishment can make changes.
