The only time smoking is a distraction at all is when you're lighting up or when the not-yet-out butt flies back in the window and lodges inbetween your crotch and seat, burning the crap outta your new jeans while you furiously try to dig it out and not rear end the old lady in front of you... :eeps:

I'm tired of seeing smokers throw cigarette butts out the windows. Why they think that's not trash, I don't get.

:bigpimp: I used to smoke in college. I had a frequent Columbus to Chicago drive that was about as boring as it gets, especially when it was round trip in the same day. Smoking seemed to help.

I quit before I graduated.

Not to mention ash.

The thing that's between your seats? It's called an ashtray for a reason. That's where your shit goes.

Ashholes.

No, your shit goes in the shitter. It's called the shitter for a reason. That's where your shit goes.

There are other times...

trying to ash out the crack between the window and the frame when it's raining or real cold. There's the times when a piece of ash (or cherry) flies into an eye, not to mention the occasional wisp of smoke that can suddenly irritate an eye. Searching for your lighter. Trying to use matches with a window down when you can't find the lighter.

You put out a cigarette in the ashtray, the car reeks of nasty old cigarette forever. You toss it out the window, and the car smells hardly at all.

Not defending. Just explaining.
