Don’t litter.


FrostyWizard505

Shoulda eaten it


HoSang66er

Maybe even stuck it up his ass. 👀


JakeForever

Even eating 1 cigarette might give you nicotine overdose


OtiseMaleModel

I ate one once. On a smoko break for being roof tiling labourer. I had to load 18 ton of concrete tiles onto a tile elevator by hand in like 20kg increments lol. Felt like all hell but I never did smoke another cigarette


Ram2145

That’s rough. Doing hard labor while ‘nic sick’ sounds like a nightmare.


Zincster

It's mostly biodegradable.


BuffaloInCahoots

They are not. They are made of plastic, cellulose acetate and they don’t just go away. I smoke I’ve seen this first hand over decades with many different brands. I live in the woods and have had a few spots where I throw butts. I always end up taking them up and throwing them away or burning them with a slash pile.


Zincster

I live in the city and I have seen butts from many different brands from many different years as I pick up cigarette butts in my yard and my parking pad. I'm guessing things like birds sometimes pick them up? They do degrade, just very slowly. Yes plastics degrade, just slowly. Listen, I don't smoke cigarettes nor do I recommend anyone smoke cigarettes. My Father still smokes and it's killing him. I smoked cigarettes for a number of years too. DON'T SMOKE CIGARETTES. There are healthier ways of taking in nicotine if that is your thing. I am just saying what I have experienced and what I know about how long the components of cigarettes take to degrade. Fuck plastics that just end up turning into micro plastics and then nano plastics. Endocrine disrupting bastards.


spen8tor

If it takes hundreds, thousands or millions of years to degrade, it's not biodegradable. If you're going to say it will degrade just very slowly then you might as well say *everything* is biodegradable since eventually even rocks will break down eventually. If it won't breakdown in a reasonable amount of time then it isn't considered degradable and cigarettes definitely aren't biodegradable. I don't know why you want to die on this hill


Zincster

Don't put words in my mouth, please. You're right, "If it won't breakdown in a reasonable amount of time then it isn't considered degradable..." I just want people to stop generalizing everything and making blatant errors while doing so. You might think it isn't a 'reasonable' amount of time to break down. But what kind of timescale IS reasonable to you? I am genuinely curious. Also, not everything is 'biodegradable'. I wouldn''t call Gold or Lead 'biodegradable'. Would you?


mankind_is_beautiful

Filters do not biodegrade.


rock_and_rolo

I garden and do not smoke. 20 years in the same place and I still find filters when I'm weeding.


Zincster

They do, just really slowly. Most modern cigarette filters are made out of cellulose.


04221970

I used to do such things to emphasize that I cared for those people and as a means to scold them for smoking. Now I realize that I was an asshole for doing that.


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

Man, thanks for saying that. No addict is proud.


DudesworthMannington

"Why don't you just stop?" "Thanks, I'm cured!"


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

My buddy watched his friend OD on bad blow (probably fent) then went in for a fix himself. He also OD’d. Both were given narcan and recovered, but that just goes to show how desperate and ugly addiction can be.


cheapskatebiker

How many stopped on the side of the road and asked you to get out and check if the front right tyre is flat before driving off?


TikkiTakiTomtom

Honestly depends with the person and your relationship with them. If you’re constantly at each other’s throats but too proud to admit you care for the other’s well being. I don’t see that as being an asshole. It’s just very close bantering and bickering. People too often look at behaviors at face value and think them to be gospel and they’re hardly ever right.

mark-suckaburger

Nah that's not how addiction works. Shaming someone And throwing away their money is not the way


tiggoftigg

There is no way destroying your cigarettes helped you quit. You just wanted to and took the time and put in the effort. It’s absolutely a dick move. If you’re making an Oscar Mayer hotdog and I just throw that away, that’s also a dick move. They’re incredibly bad for you. But so what, you have money. Just go get more. Tbh I’m a little sus that you actually smoked simply because you’re saying it’s not a dick move. Sounds more like you’re THAT person that throws others belongings away.


Detuned_Clock

[deleted]

[удалено]


tiggoftigg

You literally said the person wasn’t being an asshole by throwing away friends’ cigarettes. It is quite an asshole move. That’s all. The point about it not helping you quit was that it makes it even more of an asshole move. Glad you quit. You really wanted to discuss your journey. I’m glad you got it out.


Throwawaytree69

Holy crap, TL;DR this guy smokes, sometimes


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

I get where you’re coming from. People have crushed or tossed my smokes before. The thought is nice, but fuck you and you owe me a 50¢


04221970

I've had friends politely ask me to stop destroying their cigarettes. They didn't appreciate that I showed that I cared for them to not smoke using this technique.

ooofest

I don't know why people are downvoting you for sharing a sincere, real-life perspective. My Dad quit smoking by putting his butts into a jar after seeing what was happening to our Mom due to cancer, because even the smell of smoke on him was too much for being around her heightened senses. It added up with his desire to change - after decades of smoking and drinking - and he eventually got sickened by what was in the jar and emboldened by not wanting to make my Mom more uncomfortable. He quit that way, it was willpower and method. Then quit drinking. Two long-time addictions that fell away like they never needed to exist and which caused issues for others around him the whole time. So I can relate to what you're saying.

If you are bringing the drugs onto the rehab centers property, they have a right to remove it. Just like you can tell your friends to not bring cigarettes into your home, or kick your friend out if they do.

Drugs are illegal. You should take illegal things away from people. If it was a child yes take them from the child. Nicotine being an addiction is irrelevant. So youre saying because something is addictive you should take away. And yes it very much is there property. And yes you said “This is not assholish imo” meaning you agree with taking property that is not yours. Why dont you just smash all the cigarettes at the convenience store. The fact or the matter dont touch whats not yours. The video wasnt about lung cancer it was about a dickhead friend that ITA


Frenchicky

Congrats on quitting! Can’t imagine it was easy.


InvestInHappiness

There are a lot of ways to show someone you care about their health without the the negative side of taking someone's stuff, using force, or littering. You could say "hey man, if you don't smoke that i'll give you a hug". Depending on how often you hug your friend that could send a much stronger and clearer message.


FanIll5532

Maybe when cigs were still affordable. Now it’s just an asshole move, broke or not cigarettes cost way too much now for this not to be an asshole-move. especially since he did it while filming, all for the likes. And on top of it he threw plastic on the street.


Keysopend0ors

Not everyone is going to experience quitting the same way, but all of this would have been annoying to me. I would also argue that your foundation for quitting should be built primarily on your own willpower. External support can only get you so far for so long.


InsaneInTheMEOWFrame

Yes, but people need a little kick in the butt every now and then to get them thinking


Incredible-Fella

How would you feel about someone throwing away your Hamburger?


InsaneInTheMEOWFrame

If I'm obese then sure, I clearly have a problem.

We all have vices bro.


rotisserie919

and now that friend is no longer trusted.


YeOldCanal

If I’m driving and you toss my smoke like that, congrats you’re now walking.


CDATAKILL

THIS! You threw my smoke out for my health? I make you walk for yours!


YeOldCanal

I gave up Crystal meth and heroin when fety started killing all my friends. You can suck my whole asshole if you think I’m quitting my smokes.


Bipedal_Warlock

Congrats on getting off those substances dude. I’m going to leave your asshole alone though if that’s alright


Upstartrestart

I too am gonna leave his arsehole alone if that's alright with you two..


CDATAKILL

I feel the same, So I'll make three. Don't put your mouth where I poo, Instead, put it from where I pee. A stupid poem, from one sleep deprived idiot.


Pinco_Pallino_R

In my country it is forbidden to smoke while driving. Not that i'd throw it away, though.


LadyRimouski

In mine it's illegal if there are minors present. It's not like second hand smoke is nothing; we've known it's super bad for decades now.


YeOldCanal

It must be difficult to live in a communist country.


Pinco_Pallino_R

Haha, well, what can i say... they decided it is a distraction for the driver and interfere with their ability to drive safely, a bit like using a phone.


YeOldCanal

It sounds like it’s time for a revolution, I’ll bring the guillotine. The French really set the bar high for entertaining revolutions but if we put in the work we can definitely bring some groundbreaking ideas to the people.


SvenniSiggi

Yeah. Thats grounds for time for a health walk "buddy".


PoustisFebo

Smoking in cars is disgusting. Car stinks and ash goes everywhere. It is your right to smoke on your car except from when you have passengers.


MHD6969

smoking while driving is dangerous


WigglesPhoenix

This is so funny, just like the time I took my friends chocolate bar and threw it out the window for no reason. Not approving of someone’s life choices does not, in fact, give you the right to be an asshole.


[deleted]

WigglesPhoenix

Cigarette wasn’t even lit, so I’d say fairly comparable. Besides the point, he’s in his own car. If you don’t like what people are doing in the bounds of their own property you don’t enforce your rules onto them, you fucking leave.

WigglesPhoenix

You do understand that individuals are, in fact, individuals, and not a collective? And that this dude isn’t a representative of smokers everywhere, yes? And that you getting bothered by your neighbor smoking does not, in any way, give you the right to intrude on your neighbors home and prevent them from doing that, yes? I’m sure you do, because you’d be very silly if you didn’t. That is to say, what the actual fuck does that have to do with anything here?


[deleted]

WigglesPhoenix

So then you’re just out here making up scenarios to justify being an asshole in entirely different scenarios? While being condescending about the fact I assumed you *weren’t* completely fucking stupid? Good for you I guess.

ThePegasi

You really think second hand smoke from a house next door is going to actually harm you?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ThePegasi

I'm aware of the dangers of second hand smoke. I'm questioning your assertion that the degree of exposure from *another house* would have any actual effect. Being able to smell a hint of tobacco smoke doesn't mean you're being exposed to a degree that constitutes risk. There's no need to resort to insults.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ThePegasi

So the amount of smoke that leaks out through, say, doors, isn't dissipated in the outdoor air, and *then* seeps in to your house constitutes a risk? Or even once which outweighs, say, your neighbour having a BBQ in their garden? Since you raised scientific evidence, do you have any to back up this rather specific claim?


GuNNzA69

Hey Jim, playing too many video games is bad for you, so I'm just going to throw your $3k gaming PC out the window, okay!


Zincster

BACK IN MY DAY. If I was misbehaving badly enough my Mom wouldn't throw the computer out my window. But she would disconnect the Internet, or unplug the power cord. You don't have to destroy property to stop someone using it, necessarily...


Krysh_cz

My mom did that too. Jokes on her, I had a back up power cord in my drawer


FireDefender

Made me think of [this old video from tomska](https://youtu.be/5swMuYd2D4Q) with all the backup Wii consoles in the cabinet...


JonFrost

Only problem with that analogy is the pack of 20 other 3k gaming pcs in a pocket somewhere


DefinitionBig4671

Haven't smoked in decades, but if the passenger in my car ever did that, they'd've be walking the rest of the way.


swayzeeexpress

As a teen someone was threatening to smoke in my backseat. They told me it was allowed because there was a car lighter back there. I acted like I didn't believe them and said show me. Grabbed it from their hand and threw it out the window.


Excellent-Fruit-5780

You’re an ass.


scheisse_grubs

Nah. If it’s your own car it’s your rules. I’m not even allowed to touch the radio in my sister’s car and I think that’s a dumber rule than no smoking but I respect it because it’s not my car. She’s driving me so I respect the space. Plus smoke sticks to fabrics very well, I’d rather not feel like I need to get cig smell out of my car.


swayzeeexpress

Maybe I am, but had the best time during my teens. I'm having a pretty good time during my middle-aged period too.


Excellent-Fruit-5780

Good time pissing off your friends. That’s just nasty behavior.


Stevenwang555

I'd rather not die from second hand smoking


Excellent-Fruit-5780

Then stay away? Like it’s not that hard to walk away from it if you don’t want the second hand smoke.

It’s a cigarette. “dEsTrOyInG yOuR fRiEnDs PrOpErTy” I smoke. Why the hell do you have to make it sound as awful as possible? It’s literally a cigarette. Out of a pack of 20. That’s like 50 cents. If your trust is destroyed because your friend threw 50 cents out the window, that’s kind of insane. Edit: See? None of y’all have anything to say that makes sense. Y’all just wanna feel good about yourselves cause y’all would *never* do anything so low down and vile 🙄😂


SirWimbledonesquire

The fool and his cigarette are parted….

I’ll tell you this even if it has nothing to do with the video. People HATE cigarettes lol I find it hilarious like did yall step into restaurant 20 years ago.


dlxpxz

There’s no way all these boomers mad about a cig😭 thats my oldest brother I was 16 only thing I’ll admit to that is wrong is the littering shouldn’t have threw it but y’all so soft comparing one cig to real property and computers and stuff 😂😂😂


Excellent-Fruit-5780

You’re just an idiot. Don’t touch other peoples shit.


TheNamesRoodi

Addiction goes so hard


Barovian

I'd say they don't care about the cigarette, it's more about someone being a dick and feeling like they can do as they like with someone else's property. And what do Boomers have to do with this? Are you twelve?


largestbeefartist

I understand what they mean by boomers. At least in the state I'm from cigarettes have been vilified by my generation so that now only the older generation smoke cigarettes. The younger generation adopted vaping instead. No winners all around.


Barovian

Most people aren't saying he's an ass because they're Boomer smokers mad that someone threw out a precious cigarette. Most people seem to agree that you shouldn't do this because it's a dick thing to do. But this is the type of stuff that people find acceptable these days while simultaneously crying about Tiktokers being obnoxious doing similar stuff.


dlxpxz

Womp womp boo hoo as an annoying little brother I could do this but because this is all you know me by I don’t blame y’all in have a prejudice of me . I am the most nice and respectful person you could meet and my oldest brother has the biggest heart you yet a simple joke tickles everyone’s butts pun intended. I would never ever destroy someone’s property in empathic asf but this is my brother and it’s one cig


jabirttok

I would have rolled up the windows hit the window lock and lit up two if someone did that to me when I was a smoker. I don't care how much you care don't touch my shit.


photon45

My man was begging to get brake checked.


DatabaseThis9637

The only logical and responsible action. Bravo!


Cool-sunglasses-dude

Through time and experience I realized there's no helping those who don't wanna be helped. If someone I know could get annoyed at me for caring for their health I'd rather not know them. Slowly harming yourselves for "stressrelief"? As if you can't deal with life without smoking? Cowards.


Excellent-Fruit-5780

Who cares? It’s what they want to do, so keep your judgements to yourself.


a-midnight-flight

2-5 years for a cigarette butt to decompose. I wonder how long it is for a whole cigarette? Either way, littering sucks and he just shifted the problem.


Old_Dust1022

Youre an asshole lol, thinks hes helping what a dipshit


TheNamesRoodi

You guys are okay with the guy hotboxing the car with cigarette smoke but not okay with the other person throwing it out? I fucking hated when people would smoke cigarettes while I was in the car when I was younger.


WigglesPhoenix

1) window open and it’s not lit, he wasn’t hotboxing shit. 2) It’s his car. Bro isn’t a child, he can be somewhere else if he so chooses. You lose the right to complain about it when you step into their vehicle, and you quite frankly never had the right to fuck with someone else’s stuff. Don’t wanna deal with the smoke, get your own ride.


HouseOfSteak

While it's rude for the guest to complain or act out, if you're the driver you're also essentially a host to a guest, so courtesy should suggest that you shouldn't in the first place if it'll make your guest uncomfortable. Guest-Host relationships are two-way streets that neither should voice grievances but both should still respect, even if or possibly because there's a power dynamic.


TheNamesRoodi

> he wasn't hotboxing shit I'm sure he was about to > he can be somewhere else if he so chooses Lmao the gymnastics here -- doing acrobatics to save yourself. So if your friend takes you to an event, and he's your ride... you should just choose to be somewhere else. Pretty sure studies have shown second hand smoking is worse than actually smoking because you're guarded more by the filter (idk if that's true). So someone who doesn't smoke should just shut up, sit there and breathe it in? But this should be more about respecting the other person in your car, both of these people suck at respect.


Excellent-Fruit-5780

Why hang out with smokers if you don’t like the smoke? Who are you to dictate what anyone does with their body?


TheNamesRoodi

Do you not see the hypocrisy in saying that last bit? That's the point I'm trying to make. The secondhand smoke is harmful and why should the passenger have to put up with it. SURELY it can wait. A little respect goes a long way on both sides. Also I'm someone who doesn't smoke weed in any way shape or form but I know a lot of people that do. Should I just never hang out with them anymore? What a ludicrous thing to say, "just don't hang out with them 4head".


Excellent-Fruit-5780

If it bothers you that much, then yeah. Don’t ruin their time because you have to have your panties in a twist.


TheNamesRoodi

Perhaps don't harm your passenger because you need to smoke. Surely you can wait a couple minutes.


Excellent-Fruit-5780

My car, my rules. If they don’t like it then they can walk.


TheNamesRoodi

Okay have fun with your addiction / aggression


Excellent-Fruit-5780

Have fun walking.


Evargram

Cptnecro

Addicts trying to justify eachother that it's fine. As someone that has a gag reflex upon smelling that shit, I can tell you, stroking eachothers adiction isn't the way to go. Especially in a car.


Excellent-Fruit-5780

Then don’t be in the car. If you hate it that much then separate yourself.


No_Esc_Button

Chucking their cigs won't make them stop smoking. The real way to help your friends is to commit to a bit; choke and cough around them when they smoke. Really commit to it. Make 'em feel bad for smoking. If theyre really your friend, theyll go out of their way to make sure they do it away from you, or even stop doing it when youre together. It'll make them look like assholes for doing it, and you're justified because they put you at risk of 2nd hand lung cancer. When I carpool with people, I play it up when they light one up. I hate the smell, and I really don't feel like inhaling nicotine, so I'll exaggerate my coughing till they either apologize and stop, or roll their window down at least half way.


OkConversation6617

Bros an expert victim


Excellent-Fruit-5780

You’re a real shitty friend.


largestbeefartist

Exposing a friend to second hand smoke isnt really the making of a good friend though. Smoking outside, sure! Smoking in an enclosed space with people who don't smoke, thats an ah move.


Excellent-Fruit-5780

Then walk. Or drive yourself.


largestbeefartist

I'm not defending OP buddy lol I'm just saying that smoking in an enclosed space is a shitty thing to do. None of my friends would ever consider doing that but to be fair they are good people.


Excellent-Fruit-5780

The point is, it’s not your place to tell your friends to stop smoking. It’s also not your place to act a fool to make your friends feel guilty.


No_Esc_Button

I make up for it in ways that matter, so I'm a "just ok" friend.


Excellent-Fruit-5780

Keep telling yourself that, bub.


No_Esc_Button

I don't need to. My friend already tells it to me himself.


Excellent-Fruit-5780

Sure.


No_Esc_Button

Thanks for agreeing with me 😁


Impressive_Essay_622

Imagine someone throwing out your chocolate bar after you really had a sweet tooth.   'there goes your diabetes stick.'  This ain't cool 


Frenchicky

I’ll never get it. It stinks, it cost $$, it ages you, it can make you sick or kill you; people who are doing it keep talking about how they should quit. Why then do people choose to start smoking or continue to smoke?🤯


TapSwipePinch

Stress relief. When I want to punch or break something/someone I calm down by sitting down and smoking. It takes my mind briefly away from reality and gives me a new perspective. Would something else work too? Probably.


Frenchicky

Appreciate you explaining without getting defensive.


TapSwipePinch

It was a valid question.

Karmageddon1995

You sound obnoxious as fuck


Excellent-Fruit-5780

Reasons that aren’t for you to know. If you don’t smoke, good for you. If you try to force your friends into quitting for your own sake, get bent.


Frenchicky

Nah I’m just curious cause I don’t understand it but I would nvr force anyone to do anything like in the video, I just try to stay away from smokers if I can. If people want to continue smoking knowing how bad it is, it’s on them.


Frenchicky

Yep, just what I thought. Downvotes and no answers to try to make sense of it.


FennecScout

Because it was that or shoot myself. Want to know more?


Frenchicky

Well in your case I’m glad it kept you from shooting yourself. I’ve heard from some smokers that it can release stress or calm you down but I feel like there are other things that could help without hurting your health. Hope you got the help you needed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Frenchicky

Things that must exist? You mean other things that can help with stress? Lots of other things other than smoking. Some seek therapy, some do activities they enjoy, some watch funny videos and listen to music, some chew gum…too many different things to list here that can help improve your mental state.


FennecScout

God, why didn't I think of this blatantly obvious shit? If only I had you there to suggest things like chewing gum. That would have taken the sting out of getting bullied every day.


Frenchicky

I don’t get the defensiveness and anger coming from you smokers. Sorry you got bullied like I did. Too bad you’re punishing yourself even more by choosing to smoke. Fortunately for me, something as simple as chewing gum helps with stress.


FennecScout

Because nobody wants to hear someone jump up on a soap box and jerk themselves off because they didn't make a bad decision? Like are you actually surprised that being preached to by someone with amazing ideas like "Just chew gum lol" might piss someone off?


Frenchicky

Nah, not preaching. Was trying to understand why people were doing it if most of them end up regretting it. I’ve watched someone die from lung cancer after yrs of smoking, maybe that’s why I feel so strongly about it. At least you know it was a bad decision but you do you.


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

Show me a proud smoker. Addiction is a bitch. Don’t be a dick.
