Faux Outrage has become very popular in today's society. I swear that some people walk around anticipating an opportunity to become offended by others and relish the chance to be outwardly critical of another's actions, either online or in conversation.
I try to avoid these types of people like the plague.
How dare you offend the faux outrage crowd? I am offended on their behalf.
Within one more generation smoking will be pushed to the very small fringe. Just give it time.
To add to your comment that it makes you mad, I don't unless I am on a busy road with many cars, wear a bike helmet.
1. There is nothing better than the wind in your hair. Freedom. Great child hood memories riding from sun up to sun down to every corner or Somerville.
**2. I deeply enjoy ruining someone day. I know for a fact people can't stand seeing people who ride w/o them; sometimes berating them. Been there. I love knowing they are going to bed still mad someone wasn't riding with a helmet on.
The amount of high school kids smoking seems to far surpass the amount of kids smoking back in my day. LAte 70's early 80's...
Living out West now for almost 2 years and with all of the wildfires it pisses me off even more that people throw burning cigarette butts out their car window. The Yellowstone fire in 1988 (or at least a good part of it) was started in just that way.

then there is the vaping thing....fools people into thinking it's better for you. Although I do know ONE person who used vaping to ween himself off of nicotine. Other than that they are kidding themselves. And the vaping probably attracts kids with all the flavors.
most people have moved on to vaping because they somehow think it is healthier. I mean it can be but not the way most people use it.
Hold on there bucko. Throwing fast food bags out the car window is fine.

He might know because either he's very proud of his Subaru or he works in the forrest.
I used to have a real scumbag neighbor that would flip his butts over onto my side yard. I told him about it once, and he still did it.My wife works for the town and told me don't start trouble and embarrass her.I would collect the butts every month or so, and dump them in the middle of his perfect front lawn. I did it twice, before he stopped doing it. I never said a word to him, and the scumbag never once said a word to me about it,lol.
i actually had a guy in my NYC office(open cubicles) vaping like a chain smoker at his desk every day. I asked him to stop, he ignored it, others asked him, he ignored it and started to act like he was a victim. Ended up that he forced us to get HR involved and he ignored them twice before finally getting a last warning. At that point he stopped but pouted like a baby. Swore that it didnt harm anyone
they are holding it out the window hoping mommy, daddy or spouse doesnt smell it
Love it - I would have done much the same, probably getting some help from my dog ; )
This is a big NO, NO for my employees. They all smoke, they know not to throw cigarette butts on the ground and to pick up all their garbage at the end of the day. It drives me nuts. My tailgate crew meets at my house. One of them smokes. He had the balls to throw his butt in my driveway. I looked at him and said, "Mark, I'll be by your house tomorrow to throw my garbage on your front lawn". He said, "Why". I said, "Because jackass, you just thought it was ok to throw yours in my driveway".
Couple of weeks ago I was sitting in traffic behind a Prius. They had a bumper sticker that said "Save the planet... drive a Prius!" That's when I saw the driver toss the cigarette butt out of the window.
Vapers might be the absolute worst of the bunch. Have this stupid idea stuck in their heads that vaping isn't harmful - it's borderline healthy!! - so it must be totally cool to do it anywhere and everywhere. Not sure why they fancy the rules any different than cigarettes.
Meanwhile, they ignore all the studies that suggest it's really not much, if any, better than good, ol' smoking, all while doing it 10 times as much as they ever would have smoked cigarettes. Inconsiderate dopes.
Remember pre-1982 with people tossing beer and soda can "pull tabs" everywhere? Wasn't just smokers. Entrance to our highschool football field was littered with them. Cut my foot on one at the Shore back in mid-Seventies. Lazy or too important to be inconvenienced.
I dated a girl in college that smoked - like kissing an ashtray. Also, being around her caused my contacts to turn yellow. Never again!
Shocking!
I loved the people down in Charlottesville driving a Honda or Nissan or other foreign car with the bumper sticker: "Buy Fresh. Buy Local."
I know your car tastes run a few decades behind the curve, but that post shows a wilful ignorance to the realities of the global car industry of 2017.
When we visited one of the rangers told us that the southern portion of the fire (road between Yellowstone and Grand Teton) was due to a cigarette tossed from a window. But I’ll defer to you since you have first hand experience!
