Where Did The Butt's Go,

for 19 år siden 0 +0 / -0 481

Well... when I walk around my building at lunch to do some excersize instead of smoking my lunch like I used to, I notice a lot of people still smoking. But most people don't just throw the butts down on the ground. I know when I was smoking, I would put the butt in my pocket or purse or put it out in my ashtray in my car. Here in Texas, which is the last frontier I guess, we still have a lot of smokers. Since I quit I notice them more i guess. I don't think the whole world started smoking because I quit. (that has been one of my irrational thoughts though) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 16 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 667 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $91.2 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22

Interesting post John, thanks for sharing. There is a big push nowadays for smokers to quit from the general population, the medical community and the government. What a wonderful trend! Danielle __________________________ The SSC Support Team

Hi John, New here. Where I live, the law enforcement is starting to be strick about throwing butts out of the car window- too dry- fire hazard. Most smokers I know don't. Also, when walking if you are going to smoke, it's considered best form to put the cig out on your shoe and place into pocket, until a receptacle is found. I do notice less smokers though, which is good all around :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/12/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 5 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 213 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $32.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 32 [B]Seconds:[/B] 45

Hello John W, Not John Wayne I hope! This horse is wild and doesn't do cowboy films. Got my own show anyway! Seriously though, there are definitely less butts on the ground these days. 2 possibilities here: 1 - there are less people smoking 2 - cigarettes are now so expensive that smokers are picking up discarded butts and smoking them to save money Fantastic stats by the way!

It's so funny that you brought that up about the lack of butts. I've gotta say since I've quit I do look to see how many there are in ashtrays by store doors, etc. And I think you are right. There are not as many butts. I think a sociatal (sp? or made up word) cigarette shift is happening to.

Now that you mention it, John, I don't see as many butts lying around as I used to. But since I quit, I see many, many more smokers. They are all around me. In cars, on the street, on patios outside restaraunts, all over the place. I never saw them when I smoked. Back then, all I saw were the non-smokers that I was bothering. To the lady with the garage sale I say, "Good for you!" :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 390 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,816 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1482 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 72 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 30 [B]Seconds:[/B] 7

That is a really interesting observation. There has to be something to it.....

Hi JohnW! I love seeing your posts as you always have so many wise words. ;) It's too hot to walk down my road, so I don't know if there are any butts out there (although there are some who live in my neighborhood -- hahaha!) But I notice that there are fewer around the building where I work. Love ya, Rusty :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/13/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 551 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 15,440 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1928.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 75 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 28 [B]Seconds:[/B] 1
