So, first let me say that I have nothing against smokers.  Hell, I used to be one.  What I do have a problem with is inconsiderate smokers. 

Why, oh why, do you think it’s appropriate to light up at a school bus stop?   As my oldest walks by and breathes it in, followed by my middle, then as I push my 7 month old through the smell I am left wondering why we should have to breath it because you couldn’t wait 5 minutes.  Just because you’re outside doesn’t make it better.  In fact, it permeates the air around you and floats a good distance.  Yeah, I know.   There is no sign that says you can’t smoke and it’s your right to smoke in that area but common sense tells me that my kids and I have the right to not breath in your toxic smoke at a school bus stop.  Ya know, where my kid and several other kids have to board the bus everyday.  I don’t have a choice to not have my kid use that bus stop but you sir certainly have the choice to wait until everyone is gone before you get your fix. 

All I am asking for is a little consideration.
