Or at least until you see the cop do the same thing. :D

Now that baffles me, why would you SMOKE if you don't like the smell.......OHHH you like the FILTERED smoke...i see, and other people around you......oh, hmmm, can some of you smokers fill me in on this, since i'm completly confused on the subject....

Yea.. I can see why this would be flamed, but at the same time I see where Lithium 381 is coming from. I sometime enjoy the air.. rolling down the window.. and smokers ruin it for me.

I crack the window to keep down the staining of the interior.

Meanwhile you are staining your lungs black and may end up dieing because of it. Enjoy that cigarrette.

if these people were smart they would not smoke at all! are they not concerned about their body and soul? they are so nasty and inconsiderate. they dropt butts everywhere. and then enter into your business or restaraunt in a huge cloud of smoke. that's so disgusting. if i was a business literally i would make them use the drive up lol of course after they put out that nasty cigarrette.

dont want your car to smell?? like you??? then don;t smoke. simple!!

i have no sympathy for anyone so addicted to nicotine that they have to smoke out in the rain or freezing cold. enjoy cold for you!!!! lol

Thankfully in heaven we won't have this issue. none of them will there. the air will be PURE!!!!

With an attitude like that, you won’t be there either. I don’t think your Jeezus would approve of the hater attitude…and, anyone who necros a 20 year old thread like this is destined for the deepest levels of Hell.

Everyone knows this.

I remember as a kid it was totally normal for parents to smoke in the car with kids in the car, like if I'd be with a friend and their parents smoke they'd just light up right in the car and tell us we can open the window a crack if it bothers us. At -40 outside. Imagine doing that now days? Even doing it with your own kids would be seen as bad, but to do it with other people's kids in the car too? Straight to jail!
