Please read the complete sentence. here it is fyi - I don;t like smokers and people who smoke and throw their cigarettes on the road while driving.

In other words the smokers I do not like are the once that "throw their cigarettes on the road". Have a good day!

In other words the smokers I do not like are the once (sic) that "throw their cigarettes on the road". Have a good day!

Yeah, I did that once. Not enough bang for the buck. Now I put the butts in my empty beer cans and throw everything out the car window at once.

Nice ttempt to dig yourself out of the hole you put yourself in..........but it doesn't work.

My personal experience, smoking at job also causes a lot of time waste. For example, my lab assitant smoked and she used to take 10 min break for every 20 min work she (hardly) did and smoke a ton of cigarettes. It is not allowable in an office setting like mine (we develop high speed architectures for computing) where every chip made is very very expensive. A simple ESD problem can lead to $$$$$$ loss. So we fired her. (Ofcourse, she made rude comments as expected "you foreigners know nothing....you guys come here and dictate what we should do....while all we are trying to do is maintain productivity for the company). Now the one that works, she works 8 hrs with honesty....no need to search for my assistant anymore....she is always at her desk in the lab....and gets things done faster than ever I have seen here.

I read the complete sentence as did metesky and others. It is an AND statement.

To state what you are NOW trying to say you MEANT to say, you SHOULD have written:

"I don;t [sic] like smokers who throw their cigarettes on the road while driving."

Your home page states you have a Ph.D from IIT. This should be logical to you.
