Throwing cigarettes out of cars (2 Viewers)

[Doctor Muscles]

I'm so used to doing it that one day I threw my pipe out the window after I was finished smoking! Morto!

I'm off the smokes 2 months and 11 days today

No driver has ever once allowed me to use the ashtray in their car.

So thumped and boards are in agreement?

Wow! The whole world must think you're a cunt.

ironically it's you that comes across as holier than though.

*golf claps*

so, because it's thumped, people shouldn't be bothered by the fact that when they're cycling along, some douchebag flicks a cigarette at them from his car?

It's not cotton and it's not biodegradable.

The cellulose acetate most cigarette filters are made from is a biodegradable resistant material. Depending on conditions, estimates for the time taken for them to degrade range from British American Tobacco's 10 months - 3 years[4], to 10-15 years[5].

This resistance to biodegrading is a factor in littering[6], environmental damage[7] and suggested lung damage[8][9]. In the 2006 International Coastal Cleanup, cigarettes and cigarette butts constituted 24.7% of the total collected garbage, over twice as much as any other category.[10]

Throwing used johnnies out of cars.

I have as many cycling miles as anyone on this board, I'd wager, and I've never once had a problem with this.

It's a very whingey thing to moan about.

My only opinion on the subject is that it looks cool at night.

I always get a smile from smokers who cycle. I love the whole healthy/unhealthy thing.

When I used to see people throwing rubbish out their car window, I would to pick it up and follow them to the next light and tap on their window.
When they rolled it down, I'd hand them back their rubbish.
Nice times out of ten they'd be shamefaced/apologetic about it.

i'd punch them in the face.

My complaint is not about cyclists.
It's that it's generally considered shit behaviour to throw any other kind of rubbish out your car window, and you rarely see it these days, except for cigarettes. Is it okay because cigs are fun or something? So are crisps.

Cigarettes get a general littering exemption, not quite sure why. Habit?
You see it outside every pub in town every night of the week.
