It`s tough to light a cigarette while riding because in order to ride no hands I have to be going fast enough for the wind to make lighting difficult. I just pull over or wait for a red light.

When I`m done with my smoke, the butt goes into my pocket until I pass a trash can- same thing that happens with all my cigarette butts. Since the last place I could smoke indoors went nonsmoking, the only place I ever use an ashtray is in my truck. For the guys who want to go neck punching, have at it. Smokers are already subject to enough harrasment without the litterbug aspect and the large numbers of our dwindling group who toss butts around aren`t helping anything.

Yes, cigarette smoke smells nasty to me and I`m a full scale smoker. It smells almost as bad as cigar smoke. Tough- a lot of things smell bad. Just don`t draft me (you`ll be late to work if you do, anyway).

For what it`s worth, I`ve tried nonsmoking for brief periods of time and it sucks. I don`t know what the rest of you see in it. Well, the prospect of saving five bucks a day sounds pretty good. Yeah, yeah- I know it`s bad for health. I don`t disagree, but nonsmoking just feels soooo bad I don`t want any part of it if I can help it.
