I only kid..just be sure not to throw your cigarettes at Lunasmom anymore
Yup, I had half the mind to speed up, reach in my back seat and start tossing the papers I don't need out the window towards him.Originally Posted by valanhb
You're right, it does. I learned that the hard way when I was a teenager, smoking in the car and flicked out the cigarette....right onto a cop's windshield.Yup, he pulled me over, gave me a firm talking to, almost wrote me a ticket for littering (at least), but was called off on a more important incident. Learned my lesson right quick there!

I'm sure though that's when I would get pulled over
My fiance is too and I used to be but I can't tell you how annoying it is to be walking through campus behind someone smoking. I usually walk a different direction ASAP because they are usually unaware and it is outside so they aren't breaking any rules.Originally Posted by arcadian girl
Im not bothered by a tiny bit of smoke outside.. my bf is a smoker, so I have learned to live with it.. but I honestly find it really gross when you're walking down the street and someone is walking in front of you, smoking, and you breath in their exhaled smoke. It's just... yuck.
I've done that before... more than once. In fact, I've burned holes in clothes from ash and buts before.Originally Posted by AmberThe Bobcat
My sister is a big smoker. She used to just toss her lit cig out the car window as well. But, she learned her lesson the hard way. She had tossed a cig out the window while on the highway. She thought it had gone out the window, but it didn't. Instead, it landed on the floor in the back and started a fire in the papers and other junk she had back thereI laugh, because it wasn't that serious, but could have been.
A friend of mine got ticketed because he tossed a but out his window and there was an unmarked cop driving behind him.Originally Posted by Rosiemac
It was just on the news this morning that theres a big fine for people discarding cigarettes in the street etc...
I don't get that either. On IU's campus there are signs on all the doors saying that you can't smoke w/in 20 or 30 feet of the entrance yet they put the ash cans RIGHT nest to the door... so what do the smoker do? Disregard the signs and stand around the cans smoking so I have to walk though their clouds to get into the buildings.Originally Posted by crazyforinfo
Why are ashtrays by the entrances? I don't get that at all.
I thought we were just complaining about people throwing their butts out their car windows?Originally Posted by Sicycat
Oh yay a lets bash smokers thread.
I completely agree!!! I'm pretty sensitive to smoke and cannot stand it if someone is smoking right by me!Originally Posted by Sadie's Mom
Or, how about the person who is smoking while standing near you and their smoke wafts right into your face? To them, I say, "Hey, thanks for the face full of cancer you just imposed on me without even asking first!" These people tick me off to no end. If you want to kill yourself, that's your business; but when your smoke invades my space, that's just plain rude!
The thread starter was complaining about people throwing their butts out their car windows. The replies following that seem to be bashing smokers to me.Originally Posted by Snuzy
