This is total BS. In high school I worked in a grocery store and among my
duties was sweeping the floor at the end of the day. Despite the fact
that there was a butt can at the end of EVERY AISLE the majority of crap
on the floor was cigarette butts. Aside from this, every car which i
have ever been in has an ashtray in it. But what do smokers do with
their butts? They toss them out the window. I swear to god that one
of these days Im going to get out of my car, pick the thing up, and
toss it back in. The ones that are slighly more considerate fill up
the ashtray first, and then dump the full ashtray into the street.
I have also witnessed a tobacco chewer do this with his spitoon ( a
styrofoam cup ).
My theory is that nicotine severely disrupts brain
function turning otherwise decent people into thoughless, inconsiderate
slobs. And to tie in another flame, they are prime candidates to be shot
through the lungs ( only the ones that use the world as their ashtray ).
