SMOKING IN 'BUSES
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—While I am in agreement with your talented com- mentator " Janus " on the subject of the litter nuisance, I feel that I must join issue with him with regard to smoking in 'buses.
I have always been under the impression that the spread of the smoking habit was responsible for the discontinuance of the notice requesting smokers to occupy the rear seats. After all, one is not allowed to smoke at all on the lower deck of the 'bus, and I should think that nowadays smokers out- number non-smokers, among the adult population at any rate. Moreover, now that nearly all 'buses are covered, the smoke from the front is not blown back as it used to be.
In any case " Janus " takes up a very intolerant attitude towards smokers. Does he smoke himself ?—Yours faithfully, R. WINGFIELD.
41 Taylor Road, Wallington, Surrey.
