Why do you cigarette smokers have to smoke in front of entry ways?

Question

why do you guys choose to do that when you know it is a high traffic area? i understand that it is your right and everything but its completely inconsiderate.

Answer 1

At the mall where I work, that is where the ashtrays are so that is where I smoke.  I do see your point and maybe they should move the ashtrays to the side.

Answer 2

Um well this smoker does not cuz i hate the smell so when i go back in i dont want to smell it

Answer 3

As a non smoker myself I can only guess, but my guesses are these...  1) that's where the shade is.

2) it is too far to walk away from the door.

3) that's is where the ashtrays are, or the garbage cans.

I know some places that have designated smoking area's with tables and awnings and ash trays that are located away from the doors, but you still find people hanging out at the front doors smoking...  Maybe they are trying to catch some of the AC, or Heat depending on the time of year.  

Answer 4

God I couldn't agree with you any more

I mean yay they arent smoking in the stores anymore and you walk out of the store BOOM right into a lungfull of c**p

I swear there should be a law where if I get a lungfull of cig smoke I should be able to p**s on their pants..id still be doing less harm to them then they did to me....

get in your car to smoke you inconsiderate jerks!

Answer 5

They probably do it to upset you.  Find another door.
