Smokers - are they all ****s?
Discussion
Pretty much every time I see smoke coming out of a car window, I then see the smoker chuck the fag end out.
(examples: today on the A329, bloke in a 4x4 flicked a lit fag out onto the road beside me. I made eye contact with him and gave the "w
ker" sign, which displeased him, but I doubt it will change his mind for next time)
Ditto with pedestrians, though arguably less than drivers. But often just chuck it on the ground and may or may not even bother stamping it out.
So the question is: have smokers been given a God-given right to use the world as their bin, or are most of them justs?
(question #2 - does anyone smoke in a car and actually leave the fag ends inside?)

Having owned an old car that various fluids used to leak out of, I still wince everytime a fag end gets chucked out of the window in front of me.
To me the proper wkers are vapers who produce great big sickly sweet clouds of vapour. I don't have a problem with people vaping in principle, and most seem to keep the cloud volume turned down, yet some people insist on creating a smoke screen (or vapour screen). A product of the "look at me" society I suppose...

A product of the "look at me" society I suppose...Had some stupid cow throw a lit cigarette out of the window in a car park once, as I was walking by. it nearly hit me.
I threw it back in the open window and she went mental - saying she's going to call the police on me for criminal damage etc.
In answer to the op, not all, no, but lots are.The inability to see that a cigarette butt is litter and actually, no, it is not acceptable just to drop it and wander off, is something i find very irritating.

Use your bloody ashtray… and if you don’t have one, either keep a suitable receptacle in your car or don’t smoke when you’re driving.
I always carry a portable ashtray to use (2 quid for a pair on ebay so there’s no excuse not to have one) – I can’t stand people who drop litter and fag butts are no exception IMO. Pisses me off no end at work. Bins are supplied and yet people still think it acceptable to dump fags butts on the floor about 6 foot from the bin.
I miss my Capris: huge ashtray on those things… used to take me months to fill it up!

You're right. I should have given him a smile and a thumbs up, or maybe a round of applause, for littering the environment...
Why did you need to give a reaction?k they like, regardless of how it impacts other people or the environment, without any fear of being called out on it.Poor bloke - hes probably rocking backwards and forwards in his safe space now, because I suggested he was a w
ker for throwing a fag end out. I didn't respect his human rights.daddy cool said:

Most smokers are just twunts, not all of them, just most of them. Its worse than that, because people are sick of them, they think they're a victim and act all indignant when you tell them to go away.s?(question #2 - does anyone smoke in a car and actually leave the fag ends inside?)
In answer to question two, anyone smoking in their car is an idiot. When you go to sell that car it'll be next to worthless as a non smoker will immediately smell it and walk away.
I'm an ex smoker and the kind of ex-smoker that indignant smokers hate... I quit because the tax was put up (2000 in Australia, so 17 years smoke free). The first thing you realise when you quit is just how bad cigarette smoke smells, smokers don't notice it. The second thing you notice is that foods have a taste, smell and taste are the first two senses to return when you quit. The third thing you notice is how inconsiderate a lot of smokers are and how entitled they think they are.

I had some mates come around to my parents house back when I was 18/19 and having a house party. Despite the fact I provided a suitable bin for all the fag ends, most of them just decided to flick them on the patio instead, as throwing them the same distance in the other direction was clearly too difficult for them to manage. My dad was not happy the next morning.
15-ish years later, I still see this behaviour from the same people when they are in the smoking area at the pub, throwing their butts on the ground instead of in the ashtrays on the table in front of them.

Agree 100%I quit last year, mom had a stroke caused my 50 years of smoking. Dad has had two heart attacking from 50+ years of smoking. I couldn't be arsed with it anymore, I found it boring.
I am a terrible ex smoker now and i have the smell of it and hate seeing people smoke. What also gets me are the excessive 'Fags breaks' smokers are 'entitled' too. I don't get why you need to leave the office 4/5 times a day, excluding lunch to have a fag or a vape.

Its only self entitlement. I used to work with a group of people who felt they were entitled to a fag break every hour on the hour, but on a busy day would still say "I haven't had a break today" when they hadn't used any of this smoking time to eat a sandwich as well. This was quickly stopped when they needed to use their access cards to enter the area where we worked and I could see their time stamps.

Yeah, very annoying and suggests they are just peasants, by and large nowadays smothers seem to be lower down the socioeconomic ladder or poshos, the middle and working classes seem to have abandoned it in the main.
Then there is chewing gum, I do chew it sometimes, it serves a purpose, best way to freshen your breath and remove food debris if you dont have your toothbrush to hand, but put it in a bin, the pavement outside local "Revolution" is coated in it, seems to be mainly girls stood outside smoking, and then have a bit to take the smell away (it doesnt, its minty fags smell instead of just fags) and then dump it on the floor, at the gym the other day, not eight feet from a bin was a weight bench that some kind soul had squished their gum under, that is a special kind of tt that does that.
