But what bugs me are these Nazi non-smokers that go too far.

if we smoked under a cardboard box in the middle of a field they'd still find something to moan about.
Of course we would, cause you'd probably fall asleep, your lit but would fall onto the cardboard and begin to smolder and soon it would be a RAGING INFERNO

You have got to be kidding me. I hope you don't use that rationalization to throw butts out the window. Let me clue you in to something. If you smoke in your car, it already smells like shit so keeping a butt in there for a few hours until you get home isn't going to make it smell any worse.
Hey, don't get upset at me. Everyone was asking why a smoker would do that. I was just trying to shed some light on the subject. I never said that I was a smoker nor did I say that I commend that action. Oh and by the way, one of my biggest pet peeves is when someone uses profanity in public. There are more civilized words you could use to get your point across.

You really show your ignorance with statements like that.

yes, I am a surgeon and my father did die of lung CA, but once again you show your....oh how should I put it, idiocy. Ignorance is not knowing about something (and for some, still commenting on it) while stupidity is just plain ol' dumb. You think most smokers have not tried to quit. NEWSFLASH: Quiting Smoking hAS a Higher Failure RATE Than Heroin Addiction (8x by most studies). So, before you make blanket statements at least look at some data so you can make some INTELLIGENT statements rather than regurgitating the non-smoker Nazi party line.

Ralper:

You're really pissing me off!!

No matter how well intentioned you are, or how much you think you have right on your side, we're big lads now and we've managed to get through our lives this far without the benefit of your advice. I wouldn't put up with this crap from you or anyone else for 2 seconds in the real world and I see no reason why I or anyone else should have to endure your unsought advice now just you've got a frickin internet connection. I'm quite a bit older than you mate and I've been through a few schools of hard knocks without your assistance.

This thread has got out of all proportion to how it started out. I think people have made it quite clear they're not looking for your advice so I strongly suggest that you and the rest of the Holy Joes just give it a rest because there's nothing more to be said that hasn't been said already.

If you want to make it worse than it already is I'm your boy!
