[ET(end tyranny)]

Even before the government forced smokers outside, we had break rooms, or smoking rooms. We never had any "fires."

Not everyone is curtious and uses and ash tray or butt can. When my folks had a small bar and grill, they routinely had people that would put their cigarettes out ON THE FLOOR.

I was at a bar in a different town one evening and watched some guy put a cigarette out on the establishments carpeted floor. I grabbed an ash tray, gave it to the guy and told him what he did was rude and to use the ash tray. The bartender (owner's son), saw what I did and called me over to the bar and thanked me. He said they get plenty of customers that would put their cigarettes out on the floor and not listen when they wre asked to not do so. He said maybe they will listen to a fellow customer.

Somehow, I DOUBT IT!

I've never met anyone this ignorant.

Even when I was younger, and we partied hard and hung around very drunk smokers, they always used their ashtrays.
