Cigarettes have special paper that makes them go out if they're not puffed on within a minute or so. This is specifically to prevent forest fires and people setting their mattress on fire if smoking in bed. Go light a cigarette, toss it in a pile of dry leaves and see if it produces fire. I guarantee 100% that it does not.
But back to the point: I hate cigs and being around smokers, not their depiction in movies.

Smokers are not just dumb, a lot of them are litterbug pigs.
There is one measure as to how many cigarette butts are finding their way into streams, rivers, and coastal environments. The International Coastal Cleanup Day, organized annually by the Center for Marine Conservation, involves more than 500,000 volunteers picking up debris from beaches, rivers, and streams around the world. [Note: in July 2001, the Center for Marine Conservation changed its name to The Ocean Conservancy.] Volunteers complete Marine Debris Data Cards indicating the quantity and type of litter they pick up. Cigarette butts were the most common debris item collected during the international cleanup, numbering 1,616,841 in 1998. Cigarette butts have topped the list in all CMC International Coastal Cleanups since they were added to the Data Cards as a separate item in 1990.

You can still get lung cancer even if you never smoked and lived in a place with clean air. He just got lucky I guess.ATG wrote:

anything that goes against smoking, no matter how pointless and ridiculous, is fine in my book, simply because it can't possibly get any more pointless and ridiculous, not to mention dangerous, than smoking.

I don't smoke, I've said before I'm sure. I don't mind though, people enjoy it so leave them be.

Pretty big leap you made there though.
Most smokers aren't complete twats that just light up in the middle of a restaurant. smoking and eating for me = wtf m8. I'd rather take a smoke outside if it isn't too cold.
Because you have the potential to harm others. Smoking hurts no one but the smoker. Non-smokers can whine bitch and complain if they inhale the occasional whiff of tobacco smoke but it's not doing them any damage.11 Bravo wrote:

is it a big leap? total alcohol deaths in the US as of 2008 were at least under 50K if i remember correctly. second hand smoke gets credit for way more deaths that that per year. so ya i guess it was a big leap.jord wrote:

Second hand smoke kills no one. If a non-smoker lives with a smoker and dies, that will be credited as a second hand smoke death no matter what the real cause of death. Statistics on issues like these are never to be trusted.11 Bravo wrote:
