Cigarette Smokers

I grew up in a family of cigarette smokers, both parents, two grandparents and two brothers. Tried them a couple of times but they never took. Have always enjoyed the smell of cigarette smoke, with exception to the stale smell in a room used by smokers.

What the government does to cigarette manufacturers is total bullshit, where else in the world would a government make a corporation (person) advertise against itself? What the government does to smokers is even more oppressive, by applying sin taxes, pet projects funded by thieving elected officials.

There is one habit of smokers that drives me nuts. They think the world is their ashtray. For the last five years I've been pitching in as an adopt-a-mile volunteer. At any corner, before a driveway, or store, on the driver's side, the curb is littered with cigarette butts.

I support your right to smoke but quit throwing your garbage on our street.
