You now sound like my oreily worshipping friend that when ever we get into politics and someone brings up social security being a problem and the tax cuts hurting it he just shouts "you damn democrats should send back your tax return to help the nation and ill keep mine because i dont give a damn"

FYI - I am still picking out cigarette butts from around my home that the builders were so gracious to flick EVERYWHERE. They haven't degraded at all - even after two years. :cussing:

By your assumption, that would be 8 more years to go... sorry to hear about the extra yard cleaning.
No, the mower is not eating them -- I keep the blade up too high for it... and its not just when I'm cutting grass either. :shrug: I also have friends that just sit on the front porch and flick their ciggerettes, but I don't notice things like that... I guess I could go home tonight and let you know how many ciggerette butts I have in the yard :shrug:

you also walk in the grass thus pushing the butts into the dirt (refer to the surface area in one of my previous posts)

I can honestly say I've never thrown ciggerette butts out onto asphault! :wink:

:lol:

I'm just not sure what argument you are trying to make, it just appears to be strawman after strawman... is it:
1) you are upset by the color of the lit ciggerette at night on the road (personally I've never seen metal falling off of cars that would give a spark for me to run over) unlike poor pixie that had a big chunk of metal fall off in front of her ;
2) the amount of time it takes to melt away;
3) the environmental impact ciggerette butts have; or
4) the littering factor

If I recall correctly it was a discarded ciggerette butt in some cases that have placed murderers at a crime scene... the snippers for example did this and it had their dna on it... so in those cases it was good but in other's it's not because you are afraid of a cotton tube flying at your miata at night????:shrug:

Did you mean to quote me? I never implied I was making illegal u-turns :confused:

Actually:

1. Filters:
Cigarette filters are specifically designed to absorb vapors and to accumulate particulate smoke components. Filters also prevent tobacco from entering a smoker's mouth and provide a mouthpiece that will not collapse as the cigarette is smoked. Filters generally have the following components:

A "plug" of acetate cellulose filter tow
95% of cigarette filters are made of cellulose acetate (a plastic), and the balance are made from papers and rayon. The cellulose acetate tow fibers are thinner than sewing thread, white, and packed tightly together to create a filter; they can look like cotton. Other materials have been tried and rejected in favor of the taste that acetate produces. Filters vary in filtration efficiency, depending on whether the cigarette is to be "light" or regular.

An inner paper wrapper (plug wrap) and glue
The paper used to wrap the acetate cellulose plug is impervious to air for regular cigarettes, or is ventilated and very porous in "light" cigarettes, allowing more air to enter the smoke mix. A polyvinyl acetate emulsion is used as the glue to attach the plug to the wrapper, and to seam the wrapper.

An outer paper (tipping paper)
The tipping paper, often printed to look like cork, covers the filter plug and attaches the filter to the column of tobacco. Tipping paper is formulated to not adhere to the lips of smokers.

safety factor

I was driving on route 50 one day to go to my job in Silver Spring. My 6 month old daughter was in her carseat in the back. It was a beautiful day and I had the windows down, music cranking, and just enjoying life.

I smelled something burning, I quickly turned around and saw my backseat smoldering. I pulled over, got my baby out, opened the hatch, got a towel and smothered the flames that were starting. I then poured my Big Gulp over a 6 inch square burned patch in the upholstery. Someone threw a cigarette butt out of their window and it friggin landed next to my child in the backseat.

Think about that next time you throw a butt out the window.

I am a smoker btw.

Maybe it was the cigarette you tossed out your window.

That has happened to me once too :shrug: but no flames or anything -- just a burn mark :shrug:

Will you get over it, i was not breaking the law, a police officer was directing traffic and that takes precedence over marking on the road (which does include lane designations), signs, lights and what not, thus meaning i DID NOT BREAK ANY LAWS
