I agree. Start with a proper memorial to Jimmy Hoffa instead of that 80,000
seat montrosity in the swamps of North Jersey.

Being a troll is an honorable life. But criminal coddlers are lower
than $3 whores.

By that logic, let's ban V-8 engines, since all they do is waste gas,
encourage speeding, yadda, yadda, yadda....

That or we could simply enforce the existing anti-littering laws
present in almost every state. Just like every Corvette driver isn't
automatically a criminal, neither is every smoker.

Agreed. There are already laws for all the issues of smoking while driving.
Too many liberals out there trying to over-regulate everything and make laws
to micro-manage our lives. It's sick and disgusting, not to mention
un-American. That's never stopped the liberals from doing anything though...

Personally I'll have a cigarette every now and again when I go out with my
buddies. I smoke a handful of cigarettes a month at most. A pack can last me
for months. In any case, I don't smoke in my own car as I don't want to ruin
the headliner and get the thing smelling all nasty. When I smoke in a
friend's car who smokes in the car I will always put the butt in the ash
tray. I don't litter and I hate those who do. Just put the waste in a
container in your car and throw it out wehn convenient. That's what I do in
my car. I always have a plastic bag or two from Wawa on the back seat floor
which I throw trash in. When a bag fills up I tie it off and throw it in the
garbage can when I get home. Smoking is no different, except most cars come
equipped with a place to store cigarette butts for later disposal.

EVERY smoker I know, and quite a few that I don't know but have had
the opportunity to observe, litters.

Unfortunately, you smokers are unable to police yourselves, so Uncle
Sam has to step in and do it for you.

You really have nobody to blame but yourselves. Same thing with people
who talk on their cellphones while driving; you brought all these
cellphone bans that we're seeing these days on yourselves by being
irresponsible.

You must be hanging around with the wrong crowd. :-D

Actually, the last person I saw through a cigarette down on the ground
is an ex-cop who works security for my employer.

The person I've seen throw the most cigarettes on the ground in the
shortest period of time was the highway patrolman who took me for my
last breathalyzer. Chain smoker would light one with the last, and out
the window it went. He dumped two or three in the police station
parking lot while we were discussing what we were going to do with me
since I only blew a .02, and he initially pulled me over for a 54 in a
45 zone, which ironically enough switched to 55mph about 200 feet from
where he clocked me.

So does this mean that because of all those "speed-related deaths" that
you're a proponent of speed limits also now?

Did you not read the above?

But you don't KNOW anywhere close to a majority of smokers.
Not even one percent of them.

Smokers will even smoke where there are no ashtrays or butt
receptacles,where there are signs that smoking is prohibited,and the
MAJORITY toss their butts,as evidenced by the tremendous number of butts
that are found everywhere,far too many to be from a few "bad" smokers,and
by many people's observation of them doing it.
