Use of ashtray

[cakestripe]

Wow. I usually get irritated by other drivers for a multitude of reasons - not using a turn indicator, "revving" the car up to a stop sign or red light, or passing someone else just to get in front of the person and then hit their brakes - but I never noticed the cigarette thing! You're absolutely right! There's an ashtray BUILT IN, so why are people flicking their cigarette butts out the window?! Oh, humanity - you're so annoying!

NOT all smokers are litter bugs..  I am a smoker and NEVER toss then out a window or parking lot...  I always put them in the trash or ashtray or i keep em till i find a trash....

I saw this topic and had to comment on it. I think it is rude to throw cigarette butts out the window of your car when your driving and think its pure inconsideration for others and the environment. Many car manufacturers today are eliminating the ashtray, so many new cars don't have ashtrays. If thats the case ashtrays can be bought for use in the car and fit nicely in the cupholder. A friend of mine who smokes threw a cigarette out of her car window and was pulled over by a cop and ticketed for littering. She could have bought an ashtray for about $5.00 but instead got a ticket for $175.00.

wow.. well no offense but she got what was coming to her. i hate that SH** i really do. why dont people just stop smoking?? the world would be a healthier place, people. i seen someone flick their cigarette butt off the window too and it really made me mad. i wanted to run into them with my car. i hope that person gets caught one of these days too and gets a 175$ ticket for littering. I REALLY FREAKING HOPE TO GOD THEY DO!!

I guess they don't want to bother to clean them out later? I wouldn't know.

my old boss said this same thing when i asked him why he didn't use his ashtray. he said it was a pain to clean it out and that he didn't want his car smelling like smoke. i had to bite my tongue from telling him that everything about and around him smelled like smoke and that half the employees in the office knew he was in the building without even seeing him just from the way he smelled.

eh...I'm a smoker, I smoke less than a half a pack a day, and I bought one of those cup holder ashtrays.  I don't like using the ashtray in my vehicle, because even though I can't smell the smoke on myself, I hate the stale smell of smoke from ashtrays or on other people, especially heavier smokers. The cigs were the first things to go once I got pregnant.  What irony: a smoker who hates the smell of smoke.
