Today, while waiting for a bus, someone started smoking at the bus shelter, which is illegal in my city. I politely asked him to stop smoking, citing the city ordinance. He just cackled and said that if I'm so concerned about the state of my health, I should start by losing 90 pounds. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was yelled at for smoking at a bus stop, because a woman didn't appreciate me smoking by her children. She did this while waving her own lit cigarette in my face. FML
Today, while I was on the bus to work, a morbidly obese man sat down next to me. When my stop came and I stood up to get off, he just looked at me, said with a smirk, "good luck with that," and went back to reading his paper. I missed my stop. FML
Today, some guy at the bus stop screamed at me because the bus was coming and I wasn’t wearing my mask. I was standing 25 feet from the stop finishing a smoke and there was no one around me. When I sat down on the bus, with my mask on, he stared me down the whole ride. FML
Today, I walked past a few of my coworkers sitting outside smoking. As I got a whiff of the smoke, I coughed. They immediately started to defend their habit, and I was told to "mind my own fucking business." I wasn't trying to be rude; I'm actually allergic to cigarette smoke. FML
Today, I was walking past a homeless guy while smoking; he asked if he could have a cigarette. So I gave him one and said without thinking, "Sorry, it’s a menthol, but beggars can't be choosers." FML
Today, a man in a hurry asked me for a light. Not being able to find my lighter amongst the muddle inside my handbag, I handed him my lit cigarette so he could light his. He took it from me, started smoking it and walked off. FML
Today, I was having a cigarette in a smoking area when a mother with a pram strode towards me and exaggerated a cough to make some sort of point. Reluctantly, I put it out and walked off. I then turned around to see her lighting up a cigarette, and blowing smoke all over her baby. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when I had a coughing fit. The next thing I know I'm being pushed about by a group of guys who were smoking, because they thought I was coughing deliberately to send them a message about smoking being bad. FML
Today, a homeless guy tried to light my hair on fire with a match at the bus stop. FML
Today, a stranger had a go at me for smoking while pregnant. I'm a guy. FML

While heart disease does kill more people than lung cancer, that guy was a prick.

Who in the world agreed that he deserves this? I really hate walking to the store seeing someone break the law. This has the words 'mind your own business' on it. Whenever you remind someone about the law, they snap on you because they think they're special. OP, here is my advice: Because of this wierd predicament, it is going to be difficult to remind someone of the law. Though I agree that you shouldn't act like a police officer and remind everyone of the laws, just don't worry about other people as you could get beaten up for doing so.

People always use smoking as a scapegoat. They never look at obesity, air toxins, and pesticides! So silly

I have a lot of health issues. They were caused by bad genes and my father's exposure to the dioxin contained in agent orange while he served. His health problems are related to that as well. Go figure. Government is all high and mighty about smoking but won't admit to what they did to our service people then or now. And yes, it is still being used in many ways today and most people don't know it or the risks involved. While smoking and long term exposure to second hand smoke can cause health issues, it's not the only thing. We are never going to be truly safe from health risks as long as corporations run our government.

Exactly ! My grandmother got a lung infection from the air quality in her city , every lake in my town is so polluted that you get rashes after getting out of them. Smoking is not the biggest cause of people dying.

While the smoker should have stepped away from everyone else at the bus stop, he did make a point. In my opinion he was in the wrong for lighting up but you should have not thrown a stone out there with out expecting it to return.

Well, it might help.

When you point a finger, you've got three fingers pointing back at you. Or, in your case, three stubby sausages;)
