Question for those of you who smoke cigarettes while driving

[MQ32Shooter]

Yep. Those that toss em out on the highways, make for an ugly drive to the ranch with all of the burned out tracts along I-20.

I don't smoke cigarettes but will have a couple cigars on the weekend and never in my vehicle. I will throw my cigar butt on the ground when done and rub out the cherry with my boot heel. I had a lady yell at me once for doing it and accused me of littering. She seemed to be a little ignorant of the material list that goes into making a cigar.

You can see up and down the highways where grass fires have started in the summer time due to cigs being chucked out vehicle windows.

Try floating the frio, guadalupe, blanco, or comal...cigarette butts everywhere. They should have banned those instead of the cans. Some people will pick up & recycle cans but no one is gonna pick up a cigarette butt.

when I was a kid my mom and dad had a grocery store and cars had ashtrays. The parking lot was a apparently a great place to empty them

We used to clean up parking lots when we were young. I hate cigarette butts.

Back when I was hunting Possum Kingdom, my water pump went out on Hwy. 380 between Bridgeport and Jacksboro. No cell phone so I walked to a house to call for help. The home owner was a state trooper. Really nice guy. Anyway, I said something about all the burnt areas from grass fires. He told me most, not all but most, were traced back to broken bottles. Said the sun hits them and it's like starting a fire with a magnifying glass. I'm not making excuses for throwing butts out, but not all of the fires are started by them.

I saw a guy throw his out the winder once as I was passing him in the left lane.. thought to myself... what a GREAT idea... no longer do I need to keep disgusting waste products from my habits inside my vehicle... so I emptied my spit cup out the window after I got in the right lane ahead of him.
He mustve approved because he kept telling me I was number one.
I told him "No sir. YOU are number one for coming up with this great idea."

I like the way you think, been there done that. Never really bothered me till all these fires started happening all too frequently due to butts. I dont dip anymore so sometimes its an old soda or even some tinks on the way home from the lease, they dont like it too much when their windows are down too

Even if a car has an ash tray, ash is all that's ever in it. I would see cars all the time with mounds of ash flowing across the front of a nasty car and not one cig butt. Why even use the tray if you're just gonna flick it out the window

Have an ashtray that fits in the cup holder. Only problem is it takes up beer space.

LOL!

Interesting about the broken glass starting more fires than cigarettes

I have a cop buddy that drives an unmarked unit that will literally follow someone he sees smoking while driving until they throw the butt out. he writes that ticket daily.

[DirtyDave]

Never met a smoker that didnt litter. Disgusting
Even if they have an ash tray in the car, they just dump it out on the ground when its full. Pointless

[TxAg]

I bet there are a lot of guys reading this that do it daily. My coworkers do.

[Cajun shooter]

Look out the window near the curb at any busy intersection with a traffic light. There will be hundreds of butts lying at every intersection.

My brother used to smoke, he had to be the most considerate smoker I ever known. If he was smoking and other people were down wind from him, he would either put it out or move down wind of them. He never ever left a butt at my house anywhere not even outside. He wouldn't even smoke in his own car because he knew other people would be riding in it and he didn't want them to have to smell it.

[txwhitetail]

Why? Its only a little butt. Its not gonna be that noticeable. Somebody else can clean up my lazy mess. Besides....if I keep it in a can or tray in my vehicle, it will make this sweet smelling ride nasty./sarcasm font

Yep
