Now there is an enforceable law.

[bellson]

U.S. city (or town) bans all smoking!! (except in private homes)

Wtf? How hard is it to just toss a cig out the window, or smash it into an ashtray? What a waste of ink this law was...

Smokers are too stupid/hopelessly addicted that somebody has to do it for them...

I wonder how that is enforcable and if its even legal. If i smoke in my car with my kids the windows are down and none of them sit in the front seat cause of the air bag. And the ciggarette is always out the window. I bet you throw the cig out of the window when you've finished as well...

Arkansas just passed a similar law, banning smoking in a vehicle in which a child under 6 and under 60 lbs is in a car seat.

[chuecalovers]

I never smoked in the car when my daughter was young. I rarely do now that she's older except for one every now and then on a long trip.

I confess to throwing a few cigarettes out of my window in my time. I'm reformed now, though. My bad. That is my number one pet peeve about smoking, people throwing cigs out the windows of cars or dropping them on the pavement...

It happens so often by people from all walks of life, it ends up being difficult to believe that there are smokers that actually DON'T litter with their butts!

Another case of the minority/majority giving the rest a bad name.

[DoctorDulitlBest]

Yes, I'm usually careful about where I dispose my butts, but with the recent ban in Chicago we've been forced to move to certain places to smoke out doors, but in their infinite wisdom, they just removed the asstrays from the illegal spots instead of moving them 10 feet to where people can now smoke. Quite stupid. To compound their stupidity, in response to people having no place to put their butts, they've hired people to sweep them up instead of just taking the ash trays that they removed and relocating them. So now, I just drop it there for the guy to pick up. It's just stupid. When they put the ash trays back out, (in some places they've now figured it out) I'll start using them.

Now I know why they call them cigarette butts!

[Extipletape]

They do smell like ass, after all.

Already happened and likely to happen many more times.

Damn good thing that I have a sense of humor.
If we can't laugh at ourselves we shouldn't be allowed to laugh at others.

[Poothevokprot]

I'm all for heavy taxing, and gradual ban of tobacco from public life, and public health.

[Evoncalabbalo]

Heavy taxes only work to a certain point. When you go too far the black market kicks in. I haven't paid a dime in cigarette taxes for about 2-3 years now.

I am usually condsiderate to my kids if they ask me not to smoke in the car i wont, just as i dont allow them to sit in the front seat, even if they ask. My oldest is 16 almost the size of a grown man at 6 3 250 lbs i still make him sit in the back so he will not be hurt by the airbag. My kids are all old enough to ask me not to smoke in front of them and i listen when they ask.
I was saying that if i did and they havent asked me to not smoke the windows are always down.
Back to the throwing butts out the window i wont do if for reason i already said but its also a very dangerous habit. Especially in texas when the grass on the side of the road is dry, fires and all

[VovTortki]

he is still my baby . Even if he is bigger then i am.

[appletango]

No he isnt, And he is the main one that will ask me not to smoke in the car. Like i said if they tell me or ask me not to i wont.

[leacturavar]

Once again. Arkansas did this last year. Anyone who smokes in the car with a child who is required to have a safety booster seat (under six years or sixty pounds) gets a $200 fine, IIRC.
