I sat down and started trying to focus on some reading. The smell distracted me until I looked up and around and realised that the smell was coming from some glue huffers, one of whom had a bunch of glue in a plastic bag which he was huffing away at.
I considered my options and then approached the young males (probably in their teens):
Me: "Excuse me, could you please stop
huffing glue on the train? It's making me feel wheezy and it's really
depressing to watch".
Glue Huffers: "sorry" and they put the bag away (amazingly!).
Me: "Look you know that's really really really really
really really really bad for you. You might want to consider switching to
another drug.”
And that was that. I must admit I was delighted and surprised that they politely heeded my request. Watching the glue sniffers was creepy in a different way than my usual blog posts, but I thought the incident was still worth mentioning (for my zero followers!)
