We regulate toxic emissions from industry
We regulate toxic emissions from automobiles
NY decided to regulate toxic emissions from residents.
At least we can still fart in public. Farts don't cause cancer and disease.
Farts make people laugh.
Farts brings smiles

Not so - farts help kill the planet bit by bit via global warming.
Damn cows.
Just sayin'

If the city would put a bunch of ash cans, people wouldn't drop the butts on the ground.

I'm against it....if it's outside.

In Toronto, we have a ban on smoking within 9 metres (30 feet) of the entrance to a public access building, or its air intakes. At the university we have butt cans about every 50 feet, in areas where smokers congregate. They look like the attached picture and stand about 3.5 feet tall.

There are cigarette butts tossed around all of the doorways, into the university, and there are butts tossed on the ground around the butt cans. Smokers tend not to care.

Bull. They're at the smokers area at all the buildings around here and people still toss 'em on the ground. The public are lazy fucks.

I'm for it. And the story I read was if you in a park or on the beach and someone is smoking. You can go tell a ranger if there is one near and they can write them up.

Yeah I know at Costco they had some and the parking lot was still full of butts. It was cleaned up one day and there were hundreds in the same spot a couple of days later.

Just playing devils advocate, but you ever think its because they are tired and don't give a fuck because they are treated like second class citizens?

Speaking from personal experience, its a hard fucking habit to break, and a lot of people don't have the mental strength to do it. I did it after 3 tries over 2 1/2 years of trying.

So it's a hard habit to break, I get that. You want to smoke, that's fine. Don't throw your shit on the ground! No trash around, put that shit in your pocket. We make our joe's do that in the Army, works fine.

Did I say it was right? No. I'm just trying to put it in perspective. And before I quit, I had a bucket on my porch for my cig butts, so I didn't end up with them all over the place. Guess I'm just trying to give people both sides here.

Anyway, glad I quit a few years ago, and it wasn't even over all the "health" related bullshit everyone like to throw around, which is more related to genetics than anything. I quit because I got tired of wasting money on it. $3 a pack was my breaking point, said fuck it and finally quit after that.
