Do not smoke while a child is in car

[rah]

I never smoked in the car when my daughter was young. I rarely do now that she's older except for one every now and then on a long trip.

Now there is an enforceable law.

Sarcasm noted.

This is quite enforcable. Just as seatbelt laws and cell phone bans. The charging officer will testify to what they saw.

I confess to throwing a few cigarettes out of my window in my time. I'm reformed now, though. My bad.

That is my number one pet peeve about smoking, people throwing cigs out the windows of cars or dropping them on the pavement...

It happens so often by people from all walks of life, it ends up being difficult to believe that there are smokers that actually DON'T litter with their butts!

Another case of the minority/majority giving the rest a bad name.

It was a selfish thing to do, but so common that I didn't really think about it.

Not an issue now, since I quit. But I hadn't smoked in my car for years before finally quitting.

If they're concerned about safety and health, they should ban taking kids in the car before they ban smoking with kids in the car. This is just overzealous, hysterical nanny state mentality going in full swing.

About half a billion things should be banned before smoking in one's own car. Including cars.

Yes, I'm usually careful about where I dispose my butts, but with the recent ban in Chicago we've been forced to move to certain places to smoke out doors, but in their infinite wisdom, they just removed the asstrays from the illegal spots instead of moving them 10 feet to where people can now smoke. Quite stupid. To compound their stupidity, in response to people having no place to put their butts, they've hired people to sweep them up instead of just taking the ash trays that they removed and relocating them. So now, I just drop it there for the guy to pick up. It's just stupid. When they put the ash trays back out, (in some places they've now figured it out) I'll start using them.

I've been experiencing this lately. Places that once had ashtrays have since removed them. Forget sweeping the butts, some places need a shovel.

Now I know why they call them cigarette butts!

[rah]

Damn, I noticed i did that in one spot and corrected it. I guess i should have reviewed it more carefully. But yeah that's why they call them butts.

[Arrian]

They do smell like ass, after all.

Now, now...

We wouln't want to make rah the butt of our jokes, would we?

[rah]

Already happened and likely to happen many more times.

Damn good thing that I have a sense of humor.
If we can't laugh at ourselves we shouldn't be allowed to laugh at others.

[MOBIUS]

This time we can laugh our asses off!

I'm all for heavy taxing, and gradual ban of tobacco from public life, and public health.

[rah]

It's already heavily taxed.
As for a general ban, thank god I live in merica.
