TRP: More metal than your mother

I think it's more that most/many/some/a few/whatever smokers are inconsiderate pr*cks that think the world is their ashtray. They don't respect the 40-foot rule posted at the entrances of most buildings. They smoke in crowded areas without so much as a second thought of those that don't smoke (i.e. outside Target Field after a game).

If someone wants to smoke, fine. Pick up your butts and don't smoke in crowded areas.

Agreed. And, furthermore, how is it not littering if a nicotine addict throws their butts on the ground, but it is if a food addict throws their wrappers on the ground? I don't understand.

You know, for someone who sucks on cancer sticks, you're somewhat reasonable about it.

Those, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Agreed. I also don't if there are kids around.

The bottom line is that many have ruined it for us by just tossing their butts wherever they please. I flick or pinch the ash out, step on it, and put the butt in the nearest trash can.

My personal favorite (probably because it's from one of my favorite movies) is Harvey Keitel as Ray Bones in the movie within the movie in Get Shorty saying "**** you, ****ball."

To your prior point, make them illegal.

My foot is starting to hurt again. ****. :mad:

As a former smoker all I can say is that those that aren't reasonable are just inconsiderate ***holes. Now that I suffer from emphysema I can fully appreciate both sides of the second-hand smoke debate. Even when I was puffing close to 2 packs a day I never liked smokers around while eating. On the subject of smoking bans in outdoor spaces, I side with the smokers.

I feel that as long as smokers aren't right outside the door smoking at a bar, restaurant, etc. I mean, like I'd like to be able to walk out of the bar and not have to ask them to move so I can move the door enough to get out. A 40 ft rule is ridiculous, in my opinion.

Exactly. But then you have to find a way to make up for all that tax money. As for littering, 'diva has a great point, although she didn't realize it: if it's really all those butts on the ground, then why not just enforce the current littering laws? Hmmm?

Yeah, if we're outside at a picnic table or something, or restaurant patio, I won't light up until everyone is done with their meal, even if they are a smoker. It's just rude.

Just sayin'. :p

If the running doesn't kill you, the smoking will. If smoking doesn't do it, the cholesterol will. Or the transfats. Or the booze. Or the red meat. Or stress. Or maybe a big friggin' bus will hit you as you cross the road.

Smokers aren't any better or worse than any other person. They just get treated about the same as a person with leprosy. :mad:

Not true at all. I'd like you if you had leprosy.

Quiet, you racist. I don't like people who think Native American nicknames are appropriate for something as trivial as sports. :mad:

Here in CT you can technically be ticketed for littering if you toss your butts on the ground. I've only ever heard of one case where it actually happened though.

Unfortunately, there's always that one idiot who thinks it's a God given right. Like anything else, some people are just too stupid to understand.

Or genetics. Heart disease/high cholesterol run in my family. Perhaps that was also the case with Mr. Fixx as well?

There is one difference though, someone else's consumption of the rest of those items won't compromise my health (unless the drunk causes and accident) but a smoker sitting next to me in a restaurant will. Worse yet, my parent's smoking did and still negatively affects my health. (I ended up with asthma).

That said, if you want to smoke outdoors, go ahead, just leave me a little room to get into the building without having to walk through a cloud of smoke.

I think lepers might actually smell better than smokers.

And yeah, I'll take all of those potential deaths over smelling like an ashtray. Sorry, smoking is disgusting.
