What you're discussing is wild a** speculation to make it look like a smoker didn't do something incredibly stupid and boorish. Also known as denial.

Not in the least; try to start a gasoline fire with a cigarette and you will become a believer; keep the lighter at least 50 feet away.

Take one cup of gasoline, one lighted cigarette, a paper towel, assorted dried leaves, an empty saucer, a nylon rope, a cotton rope and a jar of Vaseline. Dip each of the objects in the gasoline and then stick the cigarette in or on the object.

Classic case; nozzle in the car, liquid flowing, electrons racing, woman smooths her sweater over her bust, grabs nozzle, flames erupt, woman panics and fills pants, throws nozzle on ground and exits stage right.

Fixed.

"The woman will not be ticketed for the incident, Local 6 News reported."

She's a perfect example of the kind of people who ought to be duct-taped to chairs and beaten with hammers.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if the tobacco addicts would like to leave it up to the station owner whether customers can smoke while they're pumping gas.

I wouldn't be surprised that the nanny-state addicts would require the station owner to pump all the gas.

Get over yourself, and start watching your personal asttacks.

You are an ass.  Only a dumb idiot would have a lit cigarette while pumping gas.  It's a highly volatile situation.  And it's been that law for years with big signs at the pumps:  TURN OFF MOTOR - NO SMOKING.

How about the two of you drinking a good Malakoff cocktail?!
