Well, when I smoke in the car, I have my window halfway down, and I ash/blow smoke out the window. I also 'air out' my car after i'm done, by rolling down both windows for a couple minutes.
I do this because the cloth interior of my car sucks up the smoke smell, and if I had my windows up, it would completely reek. When I have the window down, and I 'air out' the car after I'm done, the smell is either gone, or close to it. A light, weekly febreze-ing makes it smell all nice and pretty inside (no lingering smell). I doubt that even a heavy febreze-ing would help much after years of 'windows up' smoking, when the smell has permeated the cushions.
Also, with the window down (and the 'air out' process), I (myself and my clothes) smell much less like smoke after I get out of the car, and am therefore much less offensive to non-smokers with sensitive noses.
Another reason I am trying to avoid having my car smell, is to help preserve resale value if I ever decide to sell it. A car that reeks of smoke will attract fewer potential buyers than a normal smelling car.
Hope this clears things up.

using the ashtray lowers the value,you can always replace the ashtray lol
i always drive with the window down,it wasn't because of the smoke.

Have you even bothered to read the replies to your own pointless post? Or would that tax your slug-like brain too much?
I don't mind them having their window open when they smoke. But people that toss their cigarettes out the car window are stupid. That's what your ashtrays are for.:|
It's so ugly to see hundreds of cigarette butts on the side of the roadways.

You know what, you are completely right. I never thought about this. If they don't like the smell of smoke or sitting in a car filled with smoke than they shouldn't smoke in public. Many times I have stood in line or sat next to smokers at some show and all their smoke just goes straight into my face. It's REALLY ANNOYING. I don't care if people want to smoke or whatevers, but at least be considerate of others.

I've smoked a pack a day since I was 14. I smoke in my car. I roll the windows down. It stinks.
I've ridden in a car with an on-the-road salesman who smoked about two packs a day, in his car, with the windows up. I would get out of his car feeling a little sick.
I also ask for a seat in the non-smoking section when I go out to eat. Face it, the sh!t stinks.

I like this thread...
Kindof reminds me of all those idiots that pull up and park next to me before I finish getting into or out of my car. They pop out, toss their smoking butt on the ground and walk away.
What do I do? I enjoy it if their car window is open (summer) or if they have a pickup - I walk over, pick the butt up, and toss it back into their car or truck. At least I'm picking up their litter for them... though I don't really care much if their car happens to burst into flames at some point later.
MY world isn't your ashtray. And no, I'm not a tree-hugger either.
As for the official subject matter? Well damn, I don't understand it much myself. But then again, I don't understand much why people choose to smoke in the first place (I've done it myself for a short while, and it didn't make me feel cooler or more attractive - it kindof made me feel... stupid.

I'm with you on this one. I smoke, and I roll down the windows. I don't smoke when others are in the car though, or smoke in other people's cars. Even though I smoke, I don't like being clouded int he smoek either, it does stick. I go to my mother's for the Buc's football games, and have to get a fan or open a window, my whole family smokes and the cloud gets to be too much for me. When I smoke at home, I smoke out on the patio...
I have to agree, I find it very annoying when smokers think they can just toss their butts out the window. I'd love to see a cop slap one of these guys with a $500 littering citation.
This is a little off topic but...
has anyone seen my shoes? I hae been looking for them for about an hour and cant find them....
I dont supose you know where they are?

An ashtray was actually a $175 option in a previous car I had.
I crack the window to keep down the staining of the interior.

Hey now. Not all non smokers are assholes. I have never smoked more than the occasional cigar and I am vehemently oppossed to the stupid ass law in they passed here that does not allow a business owner to make the decision as to whether or not they wish to allow smoking on the premises.
