Not In Front Of The Children 2 : 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

A couple outside a jewellers on Nottingham City Centre

I don't want to appear holier than thou, but the dad is engulfed in cigarette smoke and I'm sure it will be drifting into the pram.

If people want to smoke then so be it, but surely people who smoke should not really smoke in and around children
She doesn't look ery pleased with you - I saw a girl in Newcastle quite obviously pregnant and puffing away. We should be able to be more forceful I think. You wouldn't walk past somebody deliberately harming a baby and say nothing and yet I walked past her doing just that. I hate seeing people holding pram handlebars with a fag hanging out of their hands ... eughhh!!!

You caught that smoke coming out of his mouth beautifully there right on to the poor child too !!! I like the way you've got the gold sign in ,very topical, do you think they have been in there ?

agree Phil its a big NO ... but what a good shot captured very well

Lucky you didn't get lamped taking this one - she looks friendly! You might be onto a looser with these two, I imagine they regard smoking as one of their few pleasures in life - totally brainwashed by the tobacco industry. Great shot love the gout of smoke floating out of his mouth - I used to be able to blow smoke rings and send another ring through the one before! LOL

Out of interest I wonder what ads appear on my pages as I notice that you cannot see your own, iphone and dog collars maybe?

Is that their little boy behind them? They could all due with some lessons on healthy eating.

She has the eye for you! Great capture of a nasty habit...

She looks like a right bruiser, Phil. Do you think they were selling a few bits of Argos jewellery so they could buy more stuff from Primark??
Was that an awfully snobby question? lol

great second part to the series - he's engulfed in it! I'm with you - I don't think smoking should be allowed near kids!

Looks like you're close to getting an earful for taking this one! Im always shocked when I see women smoking while wearing a baby sling. Sadly its more common than youd think.
