The harmfulness of smoking is known to many yet there are still many smokers. I think it is a personal decision. You maybe "forced" or "seduced" to smoke but ultimately, it is still a personal choice. I dun like the 2nd hand smoke and will try my very hard to excuse myself whenever possible.
However, i cannot understand why there is always a handful of smokers who like to conveniently continue smoking in a lift. They can choose to finish smoking before taking a lift or lit up a cigarette after the lift ride. It does not take more than a minute to ride in a lift. Can all smokers stop smoking when using a lift ?
The 2nd hand smoke and its smell is going to stay in the lift for awhile and people would be "forced" to breath in these harmful materials in the lift. Not to forget that the lovely children are also using the lift, day-in, day-out.
While the smokers may think that they have the right to "enjoy" smoking, all of the non-smokers also have the right to "enjoy" a clean and healthy air especially at common or public plsces such as in a lift.
Though there is a penalty to smoke in a lift when caught, it is just not effective. The TV camera in the lift dun seem to help too. Also not clear who has accessed to these recording ?
It is definitely a selfish and irresponsible act to smoke in a lift.
Basically, the smokers just dun care about it. Damn it.
It's really irritate me a lot.
