Smokers have been notoriously rude in restaraunts, but are surprised when smoking in restaraunts is banned.
not that all smokers are white trash, but almost all white trash are smokers, Hmmmm...
smoke if you want to, just don't blow it at me.

Very true and extreamly accurate

I once showed my butt out the window.......i was young, drunk.....long story.

When i did smoke, never would empty the tray out of the window. I thought it was cool to see the vac suck 'em up.

Throwing a butt out the window or on the ground is no different than throwing anything else on the ground, like a bottle out the window or a wrapper or anything else. Oh and no i do not smoke, but it still doesnt bother me.

IMHO

Would you object to someone following you around and gathering up all your refuse and then dumping it back on your front porch?

Would that bother you? Why? . . or why not?

The "average life" of a cigarette filter is oh . . . about 200 years, before it is *naturally* degraded back into "nothingness.

Doesn't that bother you?

<== 2 pack a day man. ZERO on the ground. Has been known to jump out of his truck at a stop light, run up and grab it off the ground, and throw the it ~back into~ the vehicle that tossed it in the first place.

can you tell this is one of his pet peives?

You wouldnt like people thrwoing S*** in your yard would you? NO! so dont throw it out!!!
So somebody throwing out a cigarette butt makes it ok for you to drive like a dufus? How does one inconsiderate and stupid act justify another?

OK back on topic
don't you love that scummy haze smoke leaves on the windshield?
a funny thing to do to a smoker is clean it all off the PASSENGER side of the windshield, boy do they get mad.
and I don't care what anyone says, I can smell it if a car has been smoked in more than twice.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so yeah i guess its ok for me to slam on the brakes in front of him. NC has a law that if you rear-end someone you automatically get the ticket. I guess smokers should think about that (not all smokers, only thoses who throw trash out the window).
