Training Lazy Smokers to Properly Dispose of Their Cigarette Butts

If somebody invented cigarettes today, the government would not legalize them. ~ Loni Anderson

It's no secret: I'm no fan of cigarette smokers. I used to be one. However, I took control of my mind and decided to not put cigarettes in my mouth anymore, because it's an unhealthy and expensive habit.

So now I just run around preaching my self-righteous non-smoker sermons, hoping to get through to these humans who use cigarettes to pacify their moments of stress and/or anxiety. I've already written a blog explaining how cigarettes are just "Adult-Pacifiers." Whenever the baby feels a moment of stress, the baby lights up a cigarette to calm its wuddel nerves.

I understand that some folks enjoy their smoking; they've done it so long that its become a part of their routine — just like brushing their teeth or shaving. They've trained their brain to expect this "smoke-break," and it has become an unconscious habit. They're on auto-pilot; they've forgotten that they don't have to put cigarettes in their mouth anymore. My dad is a pack-a-day smoker; so are several of my friends. They're not immune to my preaching about cigarettes.

But I'm not delusional. In Chapter 29 "You Can't Save Everybody" of my book YTWSYF, I elaborate on this truth. Some humans like their self-destructive habits. And that's fine. It's your body; you can do whatever you want with it — as long as it doesn't affect my well-being.

That's why I'm happy that most restaurants are now completely smoke-free. Having a "Smoking" and "Non-Smoking" area under the same roof is like having a "Pissing" and "Non-Pissing" section of a swimming pool — it just ain't gonna work.

However, we need to train the smoker-babies even further.

A couple days ago, I was meeting my pal at Hooters. As usual, he was a few minutes late, so I elected to wait outside on the bench. There were several smokers out there inhaling cancer-causing smoke into their lungs, and I just sat back and observed — trying to remember why I felt compelled to smoke cigarettes back-in-the-day.

As I looked around, cigarette butts were scattered all over the pavement; it looked terrible.

So like, what gives cigarette smokers the notion that it's okay to flick their cigarette butts wherever they want? I mean, there are designated ashtrays outside for the proper disposal of your cigarette, yet you still choose to flick it on the pavement?

Why are you so lazy? What causes you to be so inconsiderate?

If you choose to be a slob at your own house, and want to flick cigarette butts in your own yard, that's your business. But why should restaurant patrons be subjected to your trash when they're trying to enjoy a night out? We're already forced to walk through your potentially hazardous second-hand smoke.

Grow up.

If you're going to choose to destroy your body by smoking cigarettes, you need to also be mature enough to properly dispose of your cigarette butts.

Place them in the designated ash tray.
