Please don't assume what I think. I don't wish to share my
cigarette smoke with anyone apart from other smokers.

I am happy to find a smoker that agrees it is wrong to smoke

window, and then similarly jettison their glowing cigarette-end.

Its a waste of time you can't reason with a drug addict.
They know its bad for them, they know its bad for everyone else, they

started but they will rationalise it in their minds and carry on.
Throw in their inability to go through the low caused by not smoking
and what hope do they have. They have lost but just can't accept they
