Not In Front Of The Children 1 : Smoking

I don't really need to comment much on this photo.

Smoking in and around children, make your own judgement

Street photography in Nottingham

I assume this is mother and grand mother

If people want to smoke then so be it, but surely people who smoke should not really smoke in and around children
couldn't agree more...my parents are staying with me this wekend and my mum smokes like a chimney.... flat smellls like an old ashtray..!!

And I bet these two wouldn't dream of harming that child if you asked them. @andycoleborn Lol - tell her not to smoke in front of her baby!

What a great get up ...look at all those zips, she should have one on her mouth to keep her from putting the cigarette in !!!! I love your title Phil !!! This is why I love street photos, you see all sorts !!

Or dogs Phil, I have so many arguments with Nick puffing away on those ridiculous tubo cigars he wastes his money on around the whippets it makes me really mad. What choice have they got in the matter? I think it is wicked boy you have really hit one of my pet hates. And yes I used to smoke 60 roll ups a day until I was 30, my nickname was fag ash Frannie and no photo existed of me without a rollie in my gob or fingers, there' s nothing as rabid as an ex-smoker!! Great shot of person practicing a dreadful addictive and killing habit that some still do not have the will power to kick and are brainwashed into thinking it is pleasurable. I feel rather sorry for her most people really would prefer to stop but don't know how to. GIve her a copy of The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Alan Carr! I suspect she might be in denial though....I am sure no one wants to harm their kids with smoking is it just ignorance.

Blimey there is quit with nicorette on this one - waste of time cold turkey that is what I say...

I totally agree. They should be ashamed of themselves. Or maybe they think it is OK outside.

Nasty habit, good photo!

I agree with Ken. Nasty habit...but great photo of the dirty deed.

I so agree with you, Phil! Great candid shot

Mutton dressed as lamb comes to mind here, and a fag sticking out of her face what a beauty. wonder if she really knows what she looks like, nice candid shot.

@whippeteer I have always made a point of ignoring the adverts but now that youve mentioned it I cant help but look. Do you think its the tags that do it? I've got stop smoking in jersey, 10 % discount LOL
August 30th, 2011  
@tashy I think it must be to do with tags; Phil's ads are all about garden sheds and giving up smoking oh and wiggle
