I appreciate you, your pony tail, and your advice to not litter but suggesting people throw cigarettes into a trash full of posters is maybe not a good idea. —Smokey

It depends on whose faces were on the posters.
Um, butt it out first?
I was gonna say the same thing, bluegreenred.
OB sounds as bad as those asshats who’ll barely butt their half smoked smoke out before getting on the bus.
Jerks.
when I was in the navy seals, i would flick my cig butts into my lapel pocket to avoid littering.
Mary, did your cig butts burn your flippers?
Why not toss them in the trash can …they’re trash . Or do you like to collect them & reroll a smoke from several butt’s OB ? Which is probably harder to do, when you gotta dig down into the trash can to find them !
If you are worried about the trash catching fire, look at the good side of it all burning up, it will mean that much less solid waste in the landfill.
While I was in charge of the Summerfield Water Commission, we hosed down every fluttering piece of paper in sight. It certainly kept the smokers happy.
You field strip the cigarette, roll the burning part out, and then put the rest in the trash. I’m a smoker, it’s only common sense and curtesy not to litter all over
Agreed toygrrrl, and same here!
montrealman, that is no way to talk to a Mary.
Mary, I was simply being solicitous. You know how I feel. Write back soon.
So how about them Habs?
