Every morning an older gentleman walks a pram with twin sleeping newborns down the block in front of my building while he smokes a pipe and listens to an iPod. I find this so bizarre and really would love to say something to him about the smoke he is blowing on these babies! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

What exactly are you worried about? Not one inch of pipe smoke is coming at them - meanwhile they are about level with 1,000 car exhaust pipes. [ Reply | More

not your business at all and if he's standing with a pipe and the DC are asleep, mush lower than him , and they're outside it's not going to be the end of the world. They're probably breathing in more nastiness out for a day in the City air. [ Reply | More

He's probably trying to be a good man... Maybe the pipe isn't even lit ? Do you see the smoke ? My grandfather walked around with his pipe all the time but rarely actually lit it. Still, I don't think is your concern... [ Reply | More

Yes i see the smoke, he is a short man pushing a tall pram and smoke blows right on the children (and I can smell is strongly when I pass him). I have repeatedly said I wouldn't say anything, but that I find it bizarre [ Reply | More

np: where did you read that OP would say something? I know english is my 2nd language but she didn't say that. She's just venting online about how bizarre it is. I'm with her..it's irresponsible for him to do this with 2 infants but that's his issue [ Reply | More
