I’m not a smoker.  I don’t think it’s something I could ever do.  Something I’ve noticed, though, is that even smokers don’t like the smoke they emit.  Sure, they like to inhale, but exhaling, well, you don’t want to breathe THAT shit in, right?

I know this because I see smokers in their cars all the time–take a drag…then they blow it out the window.  Or they let the cigarette hang out the window (what, no ashtray?), and that’s aggravating.  You may ask why I care–well, when you’ve got someone smoking, blowing the smoke out their window, it goes into MY window.  Or even if I have the AC on, I can smell it.  The worst, actually, was some dickhead threw his cigarette butt out the window of his car, and it got stuck in my grill.  Yeah.  NOT pleasant.  I actually pulled over and removed it after I figured out that’s what the issue was.

Anyway–if you’re a smoker, and you like to smoke in your car, do us non-smokers a few small favors:

1. Smoke with your windows up.  Keep your own smoke.  It’s yours.
2. Dispose of your cigarettes properly, don’t throw them out your car window.  It’s illegal anyway (you know, littering?)
3. Don’t hang your hand out the window with a cigarette–it smokes itself in the wind and we smell it.  Yech.
