Swedish medical researchers discovered quite by accident that smoking reduces blood flow to the eye and dark adaption time was seriously extended.
They considered it dangerous to drive at night within three hours of smoking a single cigarette!

Just an observation, nothing has to be "done" about it at all. But, IMO, people who smoke inside and basically ruin their cars have a screw loose.

Richie... it's my f*cking "car" and that let's me do all sorts of things in it. I've been known to fart without pulling to the side of the road an exiting the vehicle. As a smoker, I've entered cars that smell like rotten diapers, the local 7/11 and Gawd knows what else.....
Your observations serves what purpose? Incite smokers..... incite people with stinky cars.... feel left out 'cause hurc is getting too much attention??? Our biggest cause for concern is that society now finds it acceptable to abdicate all responsibility for knowing what the hell it is we are doing. Instead of "finding out" and applying new skills, we are now allowed to plead ignorance...... "I didn't know that an Explorer would roll in a 4G turn".... "I didn't know that I had to add oil if it was low when I checked it".... "I didn't think it would hurt if I hit my hand with the hammer by accident"....(If I hit my hand on purpose, I would expect it to hurt, of course).
lmfao foctards who pamper there cars are retards who are ya saving it for??
lmfao

But that doesn't "linger" as long as burnt tobacco, and as long as you aren't overly amused into fits of giggleing like a school girl by your own farts, not nearly as destracting.
Just think! If only a handful of people who read it abide by it, the lives that COULD be saved!!! BTW; How's seatbelt compliance in the U.S. today, or is that another "IT'S MINE!!!" type of situation?

Cool, but when you smoke, could you roll up your windows and dispose of the cig in the freaking ashtray? As the driver of a droptop, I'm sick and freaking tired of the addicted portion of our population flinging ashes into my car, or worse, flipping a lit butt out the window while I'm driving behind ya.
Hey, smoke all your want, that tax money is better to come from your cigarette purchase than my paycheck, but don't interfere with my life while you're doing it.
I'm sure you don't have a problem with that, right?

Stop tailgating.

As a motorcyclist I would like to echo that opinion. You really haven't lived until you've had a lit butt bounced off your nose at fifty miles an hour.

Perhaps you have watched the evening news during the summer months and noted the MAJOR fires which sweep through various regions of the country (California, Florida, Yellowstone National Park, etc)... costing people their homes, lives, and the lives of the firefighters who battle those blazes. It would be appreciated if smokers used the ash tray, a soda can, or whatever.
All it takes is one butt tossed out to erase everything people cherish. Homes can be replaced, as can furniture, etc. But you can't replace a child's drawing from the third grade, souvenirs from countries around the world, yearbooks and diplomas, and other items of personal and special meaning.

Did I miss something? At no point do I condemn someone for smoking, even though I quit. I condemn those who toss a butt, which may even appear to be totally dead, out the window without a thought to the end result. At the time I quit, I was still "field stripping" them. I always used the ashtray, or a soda can or whatever was available. It's simply a matter of common sense and respect for others and the environment. If that's hypocritical, it would be appreciated if you would explain how. Not everyone who quits goes overboard about it. The fire aspect was brought home a few years ago when a lifetime of my mothers accumulations from her children growing up, to her world travels, were wiped out by someone who gave no consideration to the end result of their actions. She and many of her neighbors lost their homes. Fortunately, the culprit was identified by another motorist. Unfortunately, not in time to prevent the winds from creating a firestorm.

There are an awful lot of smokers who have absolutely no idea what field striping a cigarette is, let alone how to do it. You must 've been in the Military at some time.

That's amazing. I see so many people doing it I could never tag an individual.
Oh, and if someone is flicking ashes into my car at a stop light, I generally crank my radio up as high as I can. That usually aggravates the hell out of them because most of the time I listen to talk radio.
The bastids...
-- lab~rat >:-) Do you want polite or do you want sincere?
Impossible. The only time you'd be able to tailgate ME is when I'm behind someone else.
But if you're truly worried about butt-flippers, there's always a telltale cloud of smoke coming from their driver's side window. When you see that, back off.
