    Tired of cleaning up after smokers. Just ban all public smoking

    I don’t even smoke and yet, I’m still cleaning up smokes from my nature strip. On walks, there are cigarettes on the ground. A kid threw his lit cigarette on my nature strip last year (I was literally in my car at the time and am lucky my nature strip didn’t catch on the) and my local iga smells like cigarette smoke at the front. Also have seen smokers throw a cigarette out of their car and bin fires before

    I don’t care if people smoke in their own home but no idea why we’re still pretending cigarettes arent absolute shit

      They’ve always been absolute shit, but addiction twists the brain. I’m mostly on the gum these days, but relapse when I’m stressed by work sometimes. No excuses for littering though. Personal ash trays used to be more common when film canisters were still a thing.

      I’m a smoker and I still hate those idiots
      I’m using biologically degradable paper filters, so even if they don’t land in the right place (like, getting blown out of an ashtray), they still don’t place plastic waste somewhere

      I just don’t get, how those idiots think, that it’s ok just litter their poisonous plastic litter everywhere…
