Check with your state (google it)...most have a toll free phone line to report litter, specifically cigarette butts and other items people throw out. They will want the location, type of violationa and the tag number. South Carolina is 1-877-7Litter. I understand the state will mail a letter to the offender advising they were reported...might make "think" before they do it again.

I remember driving in NYC and coming to a stop at a red light. The woman in the car next to mine, opened her window (this is at the intersection during a red light) and emptied a whole TRAY of McDonald food (drink, left over, papers, bags, ketchup) on the road. I couldn't believe it. I was so disgusted.

No sand in mine. I double checked only to find a lit cigarette butt. I knew something didn't feel quite right. :)

Thanks for all the responses. It appears that the 370z is in just the right position to collect these offending butts. I just wish they weren't flaming and still wet with slobber or lip stick when they get sucked in. Oh well.

As far as the smell, well, it is offensive to many, but not the end of the world. Just like burping or farting, it's a gas with an odor that has been inside someones body. It's released, and we have to smell and breathe it. Yuk. I certainly don't have a problem with all smokers, just the ones that are slobs and improperly dispose of thier cigarette remains.

Smoking is gross and I hate it as well, and tomorrow I will be starting a cig free life. Nothing to do with this thread just need to quit. But I will say if you haven't read the study they did on second hand smoke being bad for you I would recommend finding it. The way they did their study was ridiculous, they put like 5-6 people in a non ventilated, smokey 8'x8' room and those people ended up with issues. So seriously if you think you're going to get cancer because you walked through someone's smoke puff outside you're an idiot.

If it gets tough grab some of these (or one like them)....

Electric Cigarette, Electronic E Cigarettes | Green SmokeŽ

I know two people that quit using them. Best of luck!

Awesome! I wish you the best of luck in quitting. I know it's hard, I quit over 10 years ago and feel so free now (I know, I know, nothing worse than a reformed smoker). It had such a grip on me, that I would basically plan my actions on when I could smoke my next one. I don't judge smokers, just the slob smokers.

Yeah, I knew about second hand smoke not being as deadly as they would like you to believe . Thats the trouble with studies, they can aways slant the results, by leaving out details, to support their agenda and people blindly believe it.

Well again, good luck with quitting. It will be tough, but the payoff is priceless.

butts out the window here are a $1000 fine, i just wish it was enforced!

4r3s 03-31-2011 12:09 PM

Thanks guys, I've talked to my doctor, I've identified my triggers, I've created simple tasks to take my mind off smoking when I get a craving, and I've purchased the first step for the patch. I am really serious about doing this now. For the past few years I've kept telling myself I need to quit now, then it turned to before I turn 30. Well I turn 30 in August this year so its time to man up and kick the cigs in the butt. I just love smoking too much and I can seriously feel in my body how bad this habit affects my overall health.
