The
Smoking
Entrances
The decision to prevent smoking inside public buildings, public transportation, and semi-public restaurants and cafés has caused all smokers to go outside these places to smoke their cigarettes. These smoking breaks usually last between five and ten minutes, depending on whether there is only one smoker or a group of them, and they often have their own social aspects. Because the breaks are short, they usually take place directly in front of the entrances.
The areas where people have to enter and leave any public building or space are therefore strongly connected with smoking. This new character of our public places shows the failure of the policymakers. Instead of reducing the effect of smoking on non-smokers in society, they have concentrated smoking in one narrow zone that everyone must pass through. We see this in hospitals, universities, train stations, and many other public and private places.

Rewe Supermarket
a cold evening coming back from sport after I have left the office aroudn 17:00. in my way home, where I have to stop in the supermarket buying some stuff to cook my dinner at home. It is raning hardly at that day, finished with shoping and just front of the supermarkt door to get the Bus. The bus still need around 5 minutes. So as others, just standing in small zone under the entrace rain protection around 12 persons in 2m squer. Suddenly someone trun on his siggerat to smok and reduce his stress. The air is full of smoke, either you breath it or you have to walk away and stand under the rain. The point is, that just exactly where we all weher standing there was a garbage box with a sigrates ashes on the top of it. Usually it is there so people they trun their sigrates before they enter the super market or other rephrased to smoke the rest of their sigrates before they enter the supermarket.
