One woman got her panties in a wad cause she saw someone throwing a nasty cigarette out of their car window

I hate litterbugs, and I've pretty much lived in areas where a still-lit cigarette butt can start forest/range fires. I have great disdain for those who toss cigarette butts or their trash out of their cars.

I've never smoked cigarettes, but don't care if anyone else does. My grandmother smoked like a chimney for most of her adult life. Quit cold turkey and lived another 20 years. Cancer got her, but no lung cancer.

I smoked my first cigar just the other day. I've been walking by the shop nearly every day for more than 2 years, and I've always enjoyed the smell coming from therein. Reminded me of a good day smoking ribs, so a rather pleasant experience.

No wonder people hate smokers so much.

Aside from the smell-I hate when smokers just throw butts on the ground.

So tacky.

My grandfather was a smoker. However, he would not put up with people dumping their cigarettes just anywhere. Dump them in the ashtray, and smoke outdoors. It always surprised me how he was actually willing to go outdoors when it was cold. Maybe it was also respect to his wife, my grandmother though. Anyways, he really surprised me considering the amount of rules and cleanliness he was willing to go by when he actually smoked. He eventually did give it up, but still the fact that he was willing to restrain where he left his cigarettes and all the cigarettes you see thrown every which place nowadays, it’s a real shame.

I am careful in dry areas about putting out a butt, but I had 600 foot frontage on a state road. Lots of grass to cut. I never had to get off my tractor to pick up a cigarette butt, but did for glass beer bottles, one crappy diaper, lots of Styrofoam from fast food places and one time, with a stick I had to pick up a pair of dirty ladies underpants...(not to mention a used condom in my driveway. After a while I started running over Styrofoam, it got shredded into little pieces and blew away. I lived in the country on a road between 2 towns... There was also beer/pop cans and shards of glass if the bottles broke...I had seen birds picking apart a filter for their nests also...use to put near bird nests hair from my dog when she would shed....never noticed a cigarette butt...pipe tobacco has a great aroma when men smoke a pipe...
