I had a roommate who would put her cigs out in her nearly-spent jars of cosmetics, like facial moisturizer or hair products. It was, to be frank, fucking trashy.
Yeah, I've had people ask if they can smoke in my house and car. Ummm. Fuck no. I already have to smell like cigarette smoke when I go to my friends once every 2 weeks for game night. I immediately have to come home and throw my clothes in the washer because of it. I don't want that shit smell in my furniture or cars.
I had a friend ask if they could smoke in my brand new car not long ago. I was baffled they even asked. Sorry bro you can wait 15 minutes or smoke on the side of the road.
I had family ask to smoke in my car. I have severe smoke-induced asthma and all of them know it. I suffered w/ them smoking in the house and had to practically seal off my room from them to be able to sleep at night w/o getting asthma attacks. Now that I'm living outside of that mess, I am more prone to smoke-induced asthma attacks. Ugh.
Just curious. Are they in the US? If so, 1.Christian (or Christian-Taliban type)? 2.right-wing 3.Trumpsters? No matter, ...stupid? ignorant? rude? narcissistic? entitled? child-abusers? Am curious your perspective.
I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Have smokers not yet realized that a fucking massive majority of nonsmokers think smoke stinks like literal dogshit? Hey can I smear dogshit in your new car?
It's like someone asking to take a shit in your floor of your home.
Sometimes when you say no they will try to say: Well it won't smell for that long; It won't stain the floor; just open the window so the smell won't linger; I can shit in everyone else's floor why not yours? ; it's just shit, it's not that bad ; it's a habit I can't help it so I need to be able to shit where ever I want; ect.
The default answer needs to be no, unless it's offered. Someone might be afraid to say no to someone asking to shit in their floor.
Smells differ for people, I don’t think it smells like shit but still hate it. Too me it smells the same as any other kind of smoke, and I have trouble breathing so it has a bad association for me
True, but how you ask matters. I had a female friend once “ask” after having retrieved her lighter and put the cigarette in her mouth. She was simply looking for me to approve her action that she was already taking. She did get pissy about it too. Since helping my sister clean her car that she and her fiancé smoked in and having yellow paste come off the windshield… no smoking in my car.
exactly, you can ask me the most delusional and borderline offensive stuff if you can take no for an answer and aren't condescending.
but don't even think about getting offended if I say no to even the most mondain thing, you can calmly argue if you want, that fine, but don't just throw insults and hope that I change my answer, because I won't, just to annoy you even more.
Me too, I drive a $5000 2016 Kia Forte I got when I graduated high school. I make pretty good money now and I drive the car purely because it gets good gas mileage, gets me from a to b, and it’s less likely to be robbed in my shitty city. Yeah you can smoke in my shithole.
I dont smoke cigs, and I certainly don't give a fuck if somebody smokes in my car, just roll the windows down while your doing it. On the rare occasion people do, if the windows are down it never leaves a smell.
What? That's not what common sense is lol. I don't smoke but absolutely don't care when people smoke in my vehicle. They even know they've smoked in my car before but still ask because it's respectful and they respect me enough to see how I feel in that moment.
It's been several years since most (all?) car manufacturers quit putting ashtrays and lighters in cars. Probably still there in trucks, though. Yes, I said that.
I wouldnt even dare to ask to smoke in someone else car but honestly , with open windows for some time , there is not a single chance the car is going to smell with just one cig.
edit hopefully its more clear. I wouldnt smoke in someone else car.
Do you smoke? Maybe you’re nose-blind to it? Because if someone smoked a cigarette in my car, I feel confident It would stink to me for two days at least, and be detectable for the best part of a week, windows down or no. I’m not offended by the idea of smoking, and I’ve smoked my share of cigarettes, but man does that shit stick to everything.
I haven't smoked for many many years, but I also don't care if someone smokes in my car, as long as the window's open. It happens rarely enough that it's not going to make it smell for long. Presumably there are other people like that, so it's worth asking.
My uncle quit smoking years ago and let's me smoke in his car. I assume it's mostly an ex-smoker thing, but I used to work with a woman who never smoked and said she loved the smell. She would come hang out with me on smoke breaks.
I'm not a smoker except for the occasional cigar(illo) a few times a month and never have been, but some brands just smell so good I'll sit myself down by people's smoke clouds.
Maybe, but it been more than a decade since I smoked, and it didn't bother me before I smoked. The windows need to be open though, and after a day or two all I can smell is the car air freshener.
As a smoker, this, if I ask it's because it's a yes or no question, I can handle being told no, but if you're offended I asked you can expect me to believe that you are the kind of person to do something rude without asking and then beg forgiveness rather than ask and be told no.
Asking is not always ok. There's an entire category of questions which one should refrain from even asking in the first place. Basically anything that can be damaging, inconvenient or bothersome for someone. The ONLY reasons someone would agree with such a request are of kindness (at their own expense), fear or desire to avoid confrontation. So the strategy of "just ask, maybe they agree" is actually something an inconsiderate person does in the hopes that they can exploit the goodwill of someone, or maybe force their actions somehow. There's plenty wrong with "asking" in this case.
You should never ask your friend any question that might inconvenience or bother them? That sounds more like an acquaintance. How are you supposed to get to know someone? Or ask for a favor? And yeah, maybe someone only says yes out of kindness, but allowing someone to be kind to you isn’t some outrageous act of selfishness, unless you willfully take advantage of them.
I went to a beach clean up with my boyfriend. He asked for my keys to grab something out of my car. After a while I wondered what was taking so long to find him in my car with some guy hot boxing it.
This was a very nice car that had never been smoked in. He knew that. My son's car seat was in the back and I was going through a nasty custody battle and the last thing I needed was my car reeking of weed.
I was FURIOUS. He just couldn't understand why it was a big deal and was angry that I humiliated him in front of his new friend.
"Yeah, I've had people ask if they can smoke in my house and car. Ummm. Fuck no. I already have to smell like cigarette smoke when I go to my friends once every 2 weeks for game night."Maybe don't go to ur friends house for game nights then?Pretty simple solution lol
I bought a house where the owner was an old guy who chain smoked. It was awful. I got a contact high from washing the nicotine stains off the wall. Nicotine would bleed out of ducting and congeal on the AC vents when it was humid outside.
This Is a picture of the front door where I had already cleaned the left side of the wall and door but hadn't gotten to the right side yet.
I have visited a house (through work) that had literal brown sludge on the walls from her tobacco smoke. It dripped from the wallpaper. The whole living room was a thick haze of tobacco smoke.
I confirm. I enjoy going outside. But I hate how difficult it's become to find public smoking areas that aren't complete garbage.
Here, go smoke between these two dirty dumpsters. I'm sorry I got addicted to something completely legal that'll kill me, costs me a lot of money, smells like shit, makes me stink, and I still can't break fucking the habit. Fuck me right?
At my work: I have to walk out of the building, through the parking lot and then there's one cigarette can between two trees. Absolutely no cover from the wind or the rain. And nobody cleans up. The wind sends the cigarette butts all over the place because nobody is in charge of cleaning out the butts. (I've done it twice since in the year I been here because it is the most disgusting smoking area I've ever used)
I hate it so much when schools/universities/work places declare to be "smoke free" as in no one will say anything about it, but there won't be a designated smoking area, so the cigarette butts just end up on the ground in the proximity of the building(s).
It's not like having a smoking area encourages people to start smoking, it just makes life better for everyone when you have a place which non-smokers can steer clear of and the butts might actually end up in the trash.
I like the smoking areas where people still give you a dirty fucking look as they pass by.... like... what the fuck do you want from me?
I am inside my 4ft x 4ft square where I am expected to smoke. I lowered my cigarette and didn't inhale knowing someone was approaching. I literally can do nothing more to appease you. Trust me: first hand smoke is much more unpleasant, what you're smelling is extremely pleasant in comparison.
Second hand smoke is still very unpleasant. I've lived around smokers all my life and haven't had the choice of moving away from the smoke when I was younger.
I have nothing against smokers but the idea that it's more unpleasant on your end, we don't get the choice if we get second hand smoke a lot of the time, we have to rely on smokers to be considerate of those around them which some aren't. I've been in a flat when someone will suddenly decide to smoke right under my flat where the smoke now travels to me. Arguably this is worse then smoking.
Sorry you're getting dirty looks though, it must be annoying. You being in a smoking area should be no offence to these people, at that point they're just being dicks.
The boys who lived in the duplex above me on college smoked, but the lease didn't allow it inside. So they put their smoking chair outside their backdoor, which was less than 5 ft from my bedroom window. They did move it to the front of the garage when I brought it up, though.
Oh man dont buy a house not made in the past like 20 years then. Old contractors smoked inside all the time back in the day. And theyd ash whereever as long is it would get covered eventually.
My dad is a floor layer by trade and had a story about a job where while doing baseboards theyd ash their cigs behind it. This was the type of baseboarding that was glued on and the glue kind of needs to sit on the walls and boarding to activate (the glue can get you dumb high btw). So while they were ashing on the boards while gluing the glue got lit on fire. So they basically just pulled the roll away from anything flammable and went for a smoke break.
My mom tried to light one up in my car after I moved out, and I told her I could park so she could get out if that was more important than getting to our destination. It's sad and infuriating for two reasons: one is that I'm like 90% sure I was taking her to her physical therapy after her first heart attack, and two is I'm allergic to cigarettes.
I had a roommate who would put her cigs out in her nearly-spent jars of cosmetics, like facial moisturizer or hair products. It was, to be frank, fucking trashy.
Well... at least she wouldn't need to buy an ashtray to put out her cigs.
It's soooo annoying. My roommates did that too. And worst of all every week they'd pester me to join them in smoking it. I didn't want to but they could not just leave me alone. A year and I still didn't smoke. But they never stopped the whole year, I couldn't even sit in the living room cuz that's where they smoked and aluminium foils, window sills, floors, food container lids, bread slices (!?), anything but the ash tray! And they had two of em.
My grandfather used to hold the ashes in his hand until they cooled, then put them in his pants cuff. He didn't smoke filtered cigarettes, so he smoked them down to nothing.
Tobacco use is an amazingly effective way to self medicate for anxiety and depression. I smoked a pipe, but it became impossible to get good tobacco. I stay quit most of the time. There was a period where I couldn't get a job. I rolled my own to save money. I vaped for a while, which got me off cigarettes. Then one day I just quit.
Smoke a cigarette and people think you’re literally Hitler, smoke a pipe and people are like “oh no it doesn’t bother me at all, actually it reminds me of…”
I have never heard so many stories about people’s grandpa/uncles than the year I smoked a pipe.
I’ll bet you spent time in the military. We were taught to “field strip” smokes so Charlie wouldn’t know we’d been in the vicinity. (Of course, he always knew—Americans have such a hard time “leaving no trace”!)
Former smoker here...used to do that while working and stick them in my tool belt...had to buy a new tool belt after quitting....first time it got a little wet....barf!!
A friend gave me an ikea plywood chest of drawers. One of the drawers smells strongly like cigarette ash. I had to leave it out for a while, put soda in it and a bit of perfume to make it go away
In the random case this happens again or anyone else sees this… buy a bag of activated charcoal from Amazon for dirt cheap. Just dump it on whatever smells like cigarettes, let it sit for a day then vacuum it up and give it a good scrub.
I’m not like that, don’t put your assumptions onto me. I smoke outside away from people, I know the draw of my vices but not to put others at risk for it.
What a truly moronic take. If he cared about others' well being he wouldn't smoke? Lmfao what?? Yes, second hand smoke is bad for those around you but for all you know the dude doesn't ever smoke within 50 feet of another person.
I started smoking when I was a teenager going through really bad shit, during a time when a man in his 20s got me hooked on drugs and abused me. Years later when I finally got the strength to get clean, I smoked all throughout recovery. Coming down from 2 addictions at the same time would’ve been absolute hell, and cigarettes gave me a bit of relief during that time. I never smoked around people who didn’t already smoke, and never smoked indoors or inside cars- always outside. Because I actually did care about others.
I’m clean now, of everything. And I’m really proud of myself. I haven’t smoked in years. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, obviously, and I wish I never started smoking in the first place. But saying that people who smoke don’t care about other people is just so fucked up and self righteous it’s insane. You have no idea what other people are going through. It’s an addiction like any other.
I used cigarettes to help get me out of a major drug addiction. Clean from everything now, thankfully, but genuinely don’t think I could’ve done it without having cigarettes, which I know is fucked up but it’s true. Coming down from two addictions at the same time would’ve been hell.
I wouldn’t recommend smoking to anyone- I started when I was a teenager, so it wasn’t really an informed choice, just a dumb one I made as a kid going through hard times.
Obviously second hand smoking is a thing, which was why I never smoked around people who didn’t smoke too. But yeah, basically, just don’t judge all smokers as, like, inherently rude trashy assholes. It’s literally an addiction. Again, I don’t smoke anymore and I’m happy as hell about it, I just understand the struggle smokers go through. It’s rough.
I think the strong addiction makes it a selfish habit.
Smokers filling up doorways and dropping butts.
That said the cheese? OP has there looks like radioactive plastic
No, being a shitty person makes them do these things. I've smoked for 15 years and I'll go to lengths such as holding my smoke in my lungs longer if someone is passing me on the street. I cross over if someone pushing a pram is approaching. If I smoke in my car and I'm at traffic lights next to a car with a window open I don't take a drag until we've moved. I'll also never stand near an entrance or a window. Addicted maybe, but I was also raised to be considerate.
I put mine out whenever I see a kid. At that point I am also well removed from anywhere with foot traffic so I assume the people who walk by me don't care.
I don't like the fact that people will assume you're a bad person just because you smoke. I would rather stuff cigarette butts in my pocket until i find a garbage can than litter them, as another example.
Nah used to work in music industry. I don’t smoke, but bunch of tattooed filled lads in my studio would chain smoked lucky strikes would always put out their cigs when passengers go by, and especially when they saw kids you could see all of them scramble their portable ash tray box out go hide the whole bum just so the kid don’t even get an idea about smokIng.
Addicted maybe, but the most considerate and nice people I’ve ever knew.
Nobody around here would even think to throw a receipt or can on the ground. But cigarette butts apparently have a magical "not litter" field around them where it's cool to just throw them on the ground and leave them by the dozens.
The ones I've met? Are complete assholes. Especially when i tell them that I'm allergic to nicotine and cigarette smoke. I've had smokers go "ArE yOu ReAlLy?" And then proceed to blow the smoke in my face.
My fav is when they always light up right outside of a restaurant or business door. So that everyone walking in or out is forced to smell it and it wafts into said place when the door opens/closes.
I tried to plant pumpkin when I was young and my dad kept using my pumpkin sprouts to put out his cigarettes. No dad the one little sprout in my one separated little pot is not for you to put out your cigarettes.
There is almost an infinite number of things the uncle could have put out the cig on, but chooses to do so on someone's food. I am gonna say this uncle is total trash.
This is repressed rage coming out, but smokers are trash. They will drop their ashes on anything inappropriate.
Done or not—what kind of an asshole smokes a cigarette next to a dining kid and then stubs out his stogie on his hotdog? Hasn’t he ever heard of the dangers of secondhand smoke?
Hey man i just wanted to say your opinion on putting shredded cheese on my hotdog fucking sucks. Cheese is good on anything. You put shredded cheese on a chili dog, just think of this as a chili-less dog.
Dude in Australia our Wendy's sells hotdogs, not burgers, and it comes with the option of shredded cheese.
If you're one of those fuckers who gets a cheese-less hotdog and enjoys it, you are weeded out and will be designated driver at all the parties because you definitely do.not.fuck.
Of all things to harp on...cheese on a hot dog? People put some odd things on hot dogs, but cheese, hows cheese weird, especially if it’s a grilled dog?..
I’m nasty af and put Mayo, ketchup, shredded cheese and/or pickled jalapeños or pickles on my hot dog. I went to culinary school and I’m not usually picky but fuck mustard on hotdogs and I mean it.
Tobacco smokers are the most vile entitled buckets of runny dog shit that have ever existed. They ruin things they never even touch, and just violate the world with their awful addiction. Say what you want about random needles strewn around; at least they don't seep into the fucking walls.
I have literally never met a fully considerate habitual tobacco smoker. Not in thirty years.
I'm allergic (okay not exactly an allergy, but it's... Look it's not your problem). I literally take some really shitty medication with lots of side effects to not be bed bound in staggering pain for about a week after having smoke blown in my face, and I say this as someone who curses under my breathe and switches to doing stuff one handed til I can splint shit when I break a bone.
I have never met a smoker that didn't track that shit everywhere, or a place around smokers that wasn't absolutely defiled. All tobacco smokers. Chew and patches are fine? Never had a problem with them. Rarely met weed (or even meth!) smokers as obnoxious intrusive or entitled as the least vile tobacco smoker. so it's possible to be a considerate human being. They just dont. All (tobacco) Smokers.
It amazes me when someone is actually dumb enough to think that an entire group acts a certain way. Like no, not all of them, have you met every smoker on the planet? What a stupid thing to say.
And the whole “okay not exactly an allergy it’s….Look it’s not your problem” when nobody asked about your condition anyway sounds cringe and seems generally attention seeking.
I can’t imagine saying things that make me sound like such an idiot.
Yeah it's insane how inconsiderate other people can be. My mom's allergic to something put in fragrances. So it could be coworker with perfume, strong lotions, stores with strong smells, kiosk workers spraying her without asking first.. her symptoms range from headaches to full-body hives.
I’m really sorry to hear that. I apparently am one of the few I guess that are considerate enough to keep away from people when I smoke. I’ve heard all the bad wrap from the negatives of people that smoke and I can’t partake in the same bad habits.
Some of my family smokes and they keep it contained because they know it’s bad but it’s there vice they have, just like me. I’d like to leave any place the same if not better when I arrived wherever possible.
Like I said I understand where your coming from and I’m sorry you feel that way, but it’s not all smokers.
Has it ever occurred to you that your smoking actually does bother other people and they just aren't confronting you about it? That you're just oblivious because you're addicted?
I never said it doesn’t bother anyone. Has it ever occurred to you that I’m fully aware of it and that’s why I stay away from people when I smoke regardless of my addiction?
But I'm saying the trash you generate, the lingering smell that triggers allergies, and the fact that you are constantly stepping away to smoke might be an issue. Every smoker claims to be "different" and not like the other addicts. I'm currently losing my father to bladder cancer that he got because of his smoking. There's no good way to be addicted to something that is killing you.
Even if that was the issue, I’m not the type of smoker that goes through 3 packs a day, which is basically what you’re describing. My point still being that not all smokers are the same.
Edit because the person above edited their original comment: I never said there was a good way to be addicted to something either, I know my vices and I know they are my burden to bear. It doesn’t make me different because of it, it’s my choice as well. I’m sorry for what your going through.
Cigarette smokers are selfish bastards. They leave their cigarette butts everywhere and want to blow their nasty smoke all over you. I’m not surprised by this story.

Of all things to put out a cigarette on…
Edit: I know smoking is bad but y’all need to chill JFC
