I'm not really sure how causing harm to yourself just to spite other people makes you look good
A lot better than walking up to someone smoking just to complain about the smell.
It's not really 'walking up to someone' tho. Again, it's a bus stop, with benches where people are expected to sit down and wait. If you're going to smoke, do it where you're not going to be around people?
He wasn't around people until someone came up after the fact. If you don't like the smell of smoke and you see someone smoking then it's pretty much a no-brainer how you can avoid the issue.
But you know people are going to come, and you know people probably aren't going to want to scatter around the bus stop like that. Just stand up a few feet from it, where nobody is expected to wait, and smoke there?
It's a bus stop, you actually don't know for a fact that someone else is going to show up during the time you're smoking. It's extremely common to be on a bus and have it pass by stops where there's either none or just one person. But since TC was there first with his cigarette I actually don't expect him to get up and move since he actually doesn't have an obligation to. If the other person dislikes smoke so much then he shouldn't have gotten so close to a cigarette and whined about it. ---
