I smoke and drive with my car window down while I am smoking.I never
throw my cigarette butts out the window.That is what ash trays are for
and I always use them too.Twice each month,I wash my car and I vacuum it
out and I clean out the ash tray and I dispose of the cigarette butts
and ashes in my garbage I put out front of my house on Tuesday's and
Friday's for the garbage truck to pick up.I am not a litterbug.

Some people wax their cars. Not me. Mine is protected by a layer of
filth. The inside of my car is covered with a preserving coat of
nicotine. As far as "the butts" are concerned, I cast them about, like
Johnny Appleseed. Again, regarding smoke contaminated radios, don't
waste your time. Leave those poor, mistreated, smoked on, utilities, to
the likes of me. Darren

Why not drive with the window up while smoking. That way you can
consume nictotine and tar more efficiently by not scattering most of it
to the wind. Who knows, you might be able to reduce the number of
cigarettes smoked while maintaining the same nicotine blood level and
save some money in the process. And the people behind you won't have
to involuntarily participate.

Actually, I do keep my windows closed, in the car, as much as
possible. The glaze formed on the glass, from cigarette smoke, acts as
a window tint. Darren

And the glaze forms in your lungs too, acting not as a sunscreen but a
particularly effective irritant that leads inexorably to one or more
serious physical maladies.

Then again, there are people who smoke their entire life, and die of
old age. Having lived a full, and rewarding life. My contention is,
that overall lifestyle, along with genetics, dictates an individual's
vulnerability to sickness. Darren

I have wondered about all that too, but don't the stats tell us that smokers
are at much higher risk of strokes, cancer, and heart attacks? Strokes are
SCARY!

My self-justification is based solely on hypothosis. Life experience,
and knowlege of my ancestry, helps to formulate my opinion, as well.
Death is certain. Life is moreso precarious. I've done the math, and
the gamble is on. Darren

I can't drive my car with the windows up or else my farts would blow
them all out.

JS Sorry, but you know next to nothing about how your genetic makeup
will or will not protect you against the well documented dangers of
smoking.

"Death is certain. Life is moreso precarious."
JS No doubt that death is certain, but why intentionally bring it on
sooner than necessary. Why run the risk of having to live your last
decade pushing a wheeled oxygen cart around or being permanently
disabled by stroke or by having a lung suddenly collapse.

"I've done the math, and the gamble is on."
JS OK, so you say you have quantified the risk. Please explain the
math that you have done, tell me the numeric weights and probabilities
you used and how they were developed.

I don't want to bore you with statistical data. You could counter it
anyway. I do have a favorite though. The japanese statistics on lung
disease. With a nearly 80% smoking rate among the adult populace, lung
problems are virtually non-existant. The only cancer known of, is of
the intestanal variety. That's been attributed to the high diet of
sushi.

I like smoking, actually enjoy it. My grandpa and I used to sit and
talk, while smoking. It was a real treat. We'd have long talks about
how much we enjoyed are smoking, among other things.

I'm beyond the reaches of your intellectual appeal. Anti- smoking
campaigns are blazing all around me. One thing I
like, my organs aren't suitable for transplantation, because of
cigarettes. That pleases me to no end. Darren
