Smoking in buses

Published April 22, 2013

Smoking inside buses is not appreciated at all by any of the passengers. The smoke is a nuisance for everyone travelling on the bus.

Smoking inside public transport is a crime. People don’t care even if others have a problem with the smoke of the cigarette.

Many people when told not to smoke inside the bus would act rudely and in some cases quarrel with the passengers.

The concerned authorities of law and enforcement should put a strict law that smoking is banned in public transport.
