How sad

I trust that all the people the are willing to slate smokers for having such a disgusting and unevironmentally friendly habit would be as equally willing to face the monumental tax hike that would occur if we all stopped smoking tomorrow??  :shock:

I don't think anyone is slating smoker here...just the actions of one...could have been someone chucking a McPoo burger out the window for all I care...I would have done the same thing     :D

One of the local hauliers round here had a wiring harness that caught fire in their Volvo tractor unit, and when the insurance assessor came out to look at it, he was telling them what was the most common cause of fires that he came across.

Apparently, and he was saying that Scanias are the worst for it, when either the driver, or a someone in a vehicle infront, chucks a fag out the window, the air tends to carry the fag alongside the cab, then it whips around the back, right into the air intake. It then sits on the filter, with air constantly being drawn over it.

Now, in principle, I agree with L90. I can't say I personally would go as far as chucking the ciggie back in however. And as for the comment regarding smacking anyone who did that, you said it yourself, you use the ashtray, so you'd never find yourself in that position. But I have to say that's a stupid reaction, fighting fire with fire as it were. Someone takes objection to the fact that you've done something wrong, and so you hit 'em? Surely the best bet would be apologise for what you did, and politely point out that perhaps they went a bit over the top with their reaction. However we all know about the ol' red mist, and rational thought isn't always available on demand ;)

i go to college, its a no smoking policy all over the site but their is one group who stand in the passageway and its awful i don't smoke am asthmatic and  have just recently had to have a course of steroids for a chest infection I'm all for a freedom for every body but cig smoke really makes me choke as does going shopping into warm and back out into cold, but i do hate it when you get the butts stuck on your shoes and than take them into your house


by the way not slating anybody as i said freedom for every one but i don't have a choice about going shopping or being asthmatic
