Good stuff. I wouldn't necessarily agree with the statement that cig filters provide no benefit, because it can certainly be proven that filters remove a considerable amount of harshness associated with smoking tobacco. Try an unfiltered Camel and see what I mean. If the government could successfully ban filters, I would quit smoking for good.
No doubt. Cig butts are very acceptable litter here in the south. Driving a smoking, flick it in the street! Sitting on your porch and smoking, flick it in the street! Fishing on a pier and smoking, just flick that s*** in the water! It goes away! I used to work at a car dealer and out back of the showroom all the salesmen would hang out and smoke. There was a conveniently located in-ground drain grate thing right there and we all flicked our butts in there. Well one day the county sent someone to the dealership and said we filed an entire retention pond with butts and we had to get a backhoe to scoop it out. I made a deal with myself that if I ever got out of the car biz I would stop smoking. Got out of that madness about 5 years ago and have not bought a pack since.
I think we should promote cigarette smoking, lots of ice cream, cocacola, french fries, alcohol, and zero exercise to all grade school kids!! First, buy stocks in those companies. Fuck 'em - the world is stupid.
This may be pet peeve numero uno for me. People use the highways and beaches as ashtrays. Pisses me off! You wanna smoke? I dont care but dont make your smoking habit my trash problem.
People that are too lazy to push the shopping cart back to the designated area and just leave it in the middle of the parking. That's pet peeve # 1 for me. Fuk those people.
I actually like good tobacco. I mean GOOD tobacco... hand rolled or in a cigar. I just don't smoke 'cause I know it's unhealthy. One of those things I choose not to do, but wish I could.
You know what annoys me? Asshats that don't clean the snow off of the roofs and hoods of their cars. Lazy. Not only are you a danger to other drivers and pedestrians, but you look like a complete douche canoe. It's usually a female driving a giant luxury SUV. Rant over.
