The Stomper said: "I felt unhappy seeing it because of the smell and it is illegal as well.

"I didn't approach to tell him anything because my bus was coming."

Under the Smoking Act by the National Environmental Agency, it is an offence to smoke at a bus stop, which includes any area within a five-metre radius of it.
