the TITLE is cigarette littering... I'm just wondering what makes it DIFFERENT OR WORSE to any other kinda littering? Do non smokers think they can stand on some kinda non smoking pedestal whilst they drop their crisp packets, cans or drive their big SUV's or fly all around the world or whatever? Just cos they don't smoke don't make them a better person No littering is worse than any other... it's a pretty simple point and I don't see what the problem with it is.

Well of course not, but you're making the assumption that the OP is driving an H3 everywhere and dropping styrofoam Mcdonald's wrappers out the window at every opportunity.
Litter is litter, smokers shouldn't be exempt from that. And of course people in glass houses....

Ok, I get why you don't like cigarette littering... but why ESPECIALLY? they're part of the problem... but it's a fucking HUGE problem... and there are plenty of contributors... and not all of them smokers. Do you react in the same way when you see a cloud of smoke come from some kinda industrial place? Do you drive? Ever fly? You want to pick on ONE group of people, I want you to tell ME what makes you so special as to cast the first stone, eh? What do you do to make the world a much better place?

I feel like you deliberately challenge everything I post. Jesus Christ... :rolleyes:

Always keeping it real Rygar.
I think you are one of the only people that genuinely tries to stay on topic.
Sure, all trashy messy people stink. But this is about cigarette smokers.
I just really don't like when my child is making a sand castle and is unearthing or walking around cigarette butts.

Well said, TC.

No, I'm not assuming anything... but unless one lives an entirely environmentally friendly lifestyle, well they don't get to bunch one group of litterers into the 'worst' of the worst. I'm not saying smokers SHOULD be exempt... but there's been a LOT of extreme talk on this thread... although I suppose I shouldn't be surprised really.

why do you take everything i say so personally? I apologise if I disagree with some of what you say but trust me, if I agree with somebody I agree with them, if I disagree I disagree... I don't go following any one person picking faults with what they're saying. I'm a smoker and I get a little tired with all the generalisations about smokers that can go on. I'm sorry if THAT bothers you :rolleyes:

If you REALLY think I'm out to get you put me on ignore, but I can guarantee you I'm not. I've said MUCH worse to some good friends of mine on here... and I don't see them constantly getting offended. I don't reply to the PERSON but to the post.

there was a wink after that... I was doing a little bit of exaggerating with a little bit of sarcasm :rolleyes: but I wasn't the first in this thread in fairness. Learn to argue properly instead of storming off in a huff at the first sign of somebody disagreeing... what did you expect with a thread like this? It's been done before.

so why do it all the time then? There's plenty of times I agree with you... the FEW times I disagree you go on about how I'm deliberately picking on you

Anyway THIS is derailing... so let's get back to cigarette litter :rolleyes:

If you don't litter then sure you can look down your nose at those who do.

absolutely... if you're gonna judge people though, you'd best prepare to BE judged! And the op DOES drive according to the story! I don't, and considering most of my smoking is done on work breaks, at the bus stop or at home, I may drop hmmm... 2 cigarette butts a month perhaps. How does MY damage to the environment compare to somebody who drives?
