If I eat an apple and throw the core on the ground or drink a soda and throw the can out my car window, that's called littering. So why is there a blanket exemption for cigarette butts??? I've wanted to say something to people so many times. I'm so proud and impressed!Yellow House Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002829617133758326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740949879488808522.post-80371326754271107562011-01-11T10:40:14.439-05:002011-01-11T10:40:14.439-05:00Oh.

What happe...yes, I want the rest of the story too. What happened??? As someone who is allergic to cigarette smoke - it makes me cough and gag, my eyes water and my chest hurts if I'm near it even for seconds...and my throat begins to close up and I think I'm dying...well, I just can't stand the dirty habit. But I do have compassion on people who are addicted but still, throwing the butts out like that is just plain irresponsible.
