GMontag's Journal: Stupid Smoking Cowple

Staying home under the weather today, had to leave the security of the condo for a smoke, a little food and mocha.

I have noticed some of this before, but without work on my mind I noticed it more. Many of my fellow smokers are cowple.

At Starbucks there is a nice metal post ashtray near the door. Also, there is a nice big metal trash container, with a huge opening at the top. Well, it was nice for a trash container before the cowple crushed their cigarettes out on the rim. Some cowple seem to have a fuzzy understanding of combustion. They know their cigarette is lit, but somehow can't comprehend that it can ignite the contents of a trash can.

On the sidewalk cowple just drop their cigarettes as they walk. Yes, ashtrays are hard to find these days because of the anti-tobacco National Socialists, but there are some alternatives. How about tossing them into the street gutter? Hold onto them until you find a trash can? Toss them down a drain? Yes, gentle reader, you see right through my rhetoric. Simple acts of civility are beyond anything to be expected from the cowple of the DC area.

Even near the ashtrays there are cigarettes littering the sidewalk. The cowple can not be bothered by ashtrays being placed two feet from where they finished their smoke.

Now there is a ban on smoking anyplace in the National Zoo. Guess why? Yes, cowple dropping lit cigarettes and starting mulch fires. The zoo staff was correct to make that ban. If the cowple who go there can't figure out how to extinguish a cigarette without starting a fire then none of us should get to smoke there.

The cowple might succeed in getting smoking banned from every public place in the more socialist areas of the nation (they are called cities). That is, until weed becomes legal.

Unfortunately for considerate smokers, the rest are helping getting it banned even in outdoor locations. Which is silly -- outside I'm not confined by a ceiling and/or insufficient ventilation. But it's been banned at most of the beaches in my socialist state, because of the litter. When I was a kid and used to go to the beach, I remember cigarette butts and those drink can tops that used to come completely off, being everywhere on the sand. Maybe if they made an edible cigarette, that y'all could just swal
