If you are smoking while driving, be sure to roll up the back window before you flick your butt. If you dont, your cig will fly into the the back and possibly set your car ablaze. I lucked out twice, but one of them did put a hole in my seat

I'm sorry to laugh, but I've been there.....i've even been in the back seat when a schmuck in the front tossed it out and it came back and hit me

Or even better, stop smoking entirely. My girlfriend smokes in my jeep and I can't stand it. HATE it when the ash comes right back in and swirls around the cabin.
So smokers, be careful. A nonsmoker might kill you quicker than the goddamn cigarettes.

lets not open this can of worms. smokers are gonna smoke, quitters will quit, and people who dont smoke will look down upon it. so its pointless to go back and forth. especially when someones *ahem* income depends on tobacco products.

Meh, As a non-smoker, I don't look down on you as long as you don't blow the smoke in my face or smoke while I'm in the car with you. Its your body, your choice. If that’s what you want to do with it, then its no different than me doing something healthy - its an individual choice.

What he said, I don't look down upon smokers. When they are my friends I encourage them to quit without being annoying. It's more a matter of not wanting to see the results of smoking than desire to not have them smoke around me.

F that. Even when I smoked there was a point where I chose to stop smoking in my car. Once I stopped smoking in my car, no one smoked in it if they wanted to ride with me, simple as that. If you don't like it tell her she can wait till you get where you're going to light up

Already did that. While we're on THAT can of worms, since smokers want to start getting bitchy about this, I've shut down my own girlfriend who I sleep next to every night. Now let's see just how nasty this gets if anyone else wants to start fucking with me on this goddamn topic.

buy marlboro, clean your smoky clothes with tide, and freshen your smoky breath for the ladies with colgate - my portfolio thanks you

redroof, you're the one who threadjacked. i just posted this to prevent people from setting their subaru's on fire.

Kavik · « **Reply #14 on:** July 15, 2011, 01:32:38 PM »

wow dude, i wasn't fucking with you or getting bitchy....just saying if you don't like people doing something in your car (smoking, eating, whatever), it's your choice to say no. I must be completely missing what you're getting bent out of shape over

back on topic.....simplest way to solve the problem while still smoking in the car:
If the window is all the way down just cup your hand around it, put your arm out the window and flick the ash down at the bottom half of the door.
If the window is only partially open, try going to the front of the window next to the side mirror instead of out the top of the window

TheBigChill · « **Reply #15 on:** July 15, 2011, 01:45:59 PM »

If people who smoke a pack a day quit smoking, they could buy a car with the money, or live in a nicer home, or, just save the $$. Just saying. ~$300 a month is a lot to spend on something you burn, then repeat.

I don't look down on anyone. You just smell, have bad breath, risk the health of and inconvenience those around you, waste money, make a mess, litter, negatively influence your children, and self inflict illness. But hey, it's an addiction.

That was tiring. I'm going to go have a Beer or 11.

That wasn't me going into a complete rage. Just venting a little steam. I was still smiling as I typed it, recalling the look on the GF's face when I told her to leave the Marbs in her pocket or get out of the jeep and smoke in the middle of the Tstorm. Things got nasty, so I'm prepared for a full on skull-fucking fight to the death if necessary

As for threadjacking, "fuck you, you're a smoker, you have no rights." At least, according to NYS anyway. Soon it'll be illegal to be a smoker and use the internet. I'd apologize, but i'm not in that kind of mood today, so this is as close as we're going to get.

Now, on to my cigar humidor and some quality time on the porch with a bottle of wine.

i know that wasn't close to full rage for you....just came across sounding like your panties were in a bunch...and I couldn't see why

First we hijacked the thread, then we blew it up. Then when reinforcements came, we booby trapped the remains and spread caltrops across our egress route. That's how it's supposed to be done.
