  Someone will complain and very soon govt will impose a minimum distance to smoke from the bus stop

  Sometimes, discrimination against smokers is going too far these days. Then again, there are good reasons to shield non-smokers, especially when bus stops are small and smokers can always smoke beside the bus stop.
  
  Anther solution maybe to use the $700 million collected from tobacco tax each year to build ventilation fans at bus stop lah.
