I think that you need to move away from there. Its affecting you,so you yourself have to move from there. If you will tell them to go from there, they would either fight with you or would rather say to go away from there.
Nobody can lawfully smoke in a public place. You may easily enforce this rule in closed space like restaurant, office and other such places by complaining to the responsible official. It will not be so easy in places like road, parks.

It will suffice to first politely ask the offender to refrain from smoking in public place. If you are allegric to smoke, most smokers will gladly oblige you. There may be circumstances when you are helpless. Then, it is best that you withdraw yourself from the place.
No body will quit smoking so easily, but we can only request them not to smoke in public areas

Smoking is weakness and a smoker cannot quit smoking easily. But this is his problem. But in most cases, smokers will cooperate and not smoke near you if you politely request. Smokers are also human beings and not less unsocial or humane than others.
It is true if you request to smoker politely, he will respect you and either he will stop smoking or leave the place. So Be Polite!! Don't enforce!!
Yes even i can't bear smokers around me, so i just request them to move from there....
If there is some policeman you can complaint to him or just leave the place.

It will not be worthwhile to complain to police for such petty matter. Leaving the place is better idea. You will generally feel inconvenience in banks, government offices, restaurants etc. Generally, the smokers will cooperate. The responsibility for enforcing smoking ban is on the manager of the establishment. You may complain to him if necessary.
Generally smokers co-operate.Here in Kerala smoking in public place is banned and hence smokers move when police comes.
Yes I too feel that the best way to deal with a smoker smoking near you to promptly request him to move away from you and if he doesn't then its a good idea to move away from him!!!
I will request him to move away or I will quit the place.
i think the best way is to move from the place rather than requesting them to move.

This is okay if you are at an outdoor place without work. You may not just move away from a smoker if in a bus, train, office, restaurant. There, you may either request the smoker to smoke somewhere else or contact the incharge there to stop smoking.
The best way to avoid such situation is to move away from that place.
Smoking in public is forbidden and you must assert your right. Always moving away does not help. Today, while coming to office in an auto, I asked one person not to smoke. He immediately accepted my request. At a tea stall, a person smoking cigarette himself moved away.
We have to be pragmatic. If you are at a place where all other or most are smokers, they are not likely to oblige. There you must tolerate or move yourself.
i will change my seat if doesn;t agreed to stop smoking
The situation is a lot better now! Now a firm yet polite request fetches positive result!
We should ask him to smoke away from you. If he don't goes away from you,then it is better that we should move away from,because we need to take care of ourself.
Well polite way can help sometimes but i have see lot of villagers smoking tobacco leaf which is really very strong to inhale..we cannt stop them even with polite request as they dont understand how harmful it is. :dry: :huh:
