Why do (some) smokers do this?

*It burns me up (horrible pun intended) to no end to see some schmuck throw his butts out the window or on the ground while I’m smoking with them. *

Is there a lesson here somewhere. :confused:

Hey, I cured my habit of throwing cigarettes out the window, I quit smoking.

Hey you!, thanks for the hilarious recap (the first one, not the Recap for Dummies). Made my day.

If someone tried to have me fired by accusing me of smoking in my office because I was considerate enough to throw my cigarette butts in the trash instead of on the ground, I don’t think I’d be too inclined to put them in my pocket anymore.

Then again I might also be inclined to throw them in that person’s trash can.

Actually, Bogey (God bless him) came up with an eminently praticable solution: He died…and of throat cancer, at that.

Do you suppose…? Could we…? Mightn’t we…ask that other cigarette smokers follow his sterling example…? :smiley:

Hey, this is the Pit! :slight_smile:

This tickled my funny bone; surely smokers know that all their clothing smells like stale cigarette butts already, don’t they?

well i’m working on it, but it’s kind of a “long-term” plan. so be patient. :stuck_out_tongue:

Or the whinny little bed-wetters like you to die from second hand smoke.
Oh yeah, that’s another antismoking myth.

“…surely smokers know that all their clothing smells like stale cigarette butts already, don’t they?”

It’s way worse when you actually put the cigarette butts in your pockets. Trust me. And I know this because when there’s no ashtray handy, this is what I do. And yes, even if there are 20 other neanderthals dropping their dead smokes on the ground all around me.

Cessandra: Thank you for actually posting some helpful links. I’m gonna weblargh two of them; I want the less expensive keychain ashtray myself. :slight_smile:
