You remember a discussion a few years back about smokers trashing parking lots and such? I remember you saying you never really thought about flicking a cig butt as littering and that you'd stop doing it. Well, a few others need the same lessons. Outside every store, at every stop light, etc... take a look at the ground. Dang litter bugs. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ffm18EYk-qYI missed this post. A big part of the problem is that many stores took away the ashtrays outside of the door. If there's an ashtray to put out my cigg in I'll use it every time. What do you do with them if there isn't one?

Honestly, it depends on my mood and where I'm at. Sometimes I'll knock off the cherry and put the filter in a trash can if there is one, or in my pocket to throw out later. But, other times if it's a major chain like Walmart and they can't be bothered to put out an ashtray for customers to dispose of the butts of the cigarettes that they themselves sell, then I ain't too worried about it and will still flick it. If they don't have an ashtray, they either aren't too worried about the cleanliness of their parking lot, or more likely, would rather just pay someone to sweep it up. So I guess you could say I'm helping make more jobs for American workers, lol.

I quit smoking 20 years ago, but I still think the self-righteousness of anti-smokers is a filthier habit than smoking.

I've never been to a Walmart that didn't have a trash can outside their front door and for that matter I don't recall ever seeing one where they didn't have a place for butts. I quit smoking 8 years ago, might be the smartest thing I ever did.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Cigs and cig smoke is disgusting clings to everything So do farts, and usually there is no evidence of where/who it came from. But, admittedly, you rarely have to sweep them up I quit smoking 20 years ago, but I still think the self-righteousness of anti-smokers is a filthier habit than smoking. You certainly got that right !

Pap smoked Chesterfield Kings, Dad smoked Pall Mall, Pete smoked Camels, I smoked Lucky Strikes. Setting round the table with an after supper smoke, we used our dirty plates for the ashtray ..... and snubbed the butt in it when done. Imagine the exploding heads if you did that in a restaurant nowadays.
