ASHTRAYS AND HEARTBREAKS

ASHTRAYS AND HEARTBREAKS



Ashtrays and Heartbreaks is a song by Snoop Lion (formerly known as Snoop Doggy Dogg and Snoop Dogg), featuring Miley Cyrus, who recently cavorted on stage in a latex bra and thong at the MTV Video Music Awards. The former Hannah Montana star said: “I have so many fucking issues. I am so fucked up – everyone does dumb stuff when they are messed up.”

One of my pet hates is ashtrays full to the brim with cigarette butts. I smoke so I am a cause of why ashtrays get full up! But I’ve noticed that ashtrays provided by many pubs and bars are often full up. Some bars have no ashtrays meaning that people smoke outside with nowhere to place their cigarette butts. I recently got fined £50 for dropping a cigarette butt on the street. Fair enough, but what could I do? I can’t throw the cigarette butt in a litter bin because it is a potential fire hazard and I don’t want to put them in my pocket. I don’t like dropping litter, even though cigarette ends are biodegradable (and even good, so I’ve been told, for the garden!).

When I visit my non-smoking friends’ homes, I always smoke outside with their permission, but they often have no ashtray. I often have to leave the cigarette ends in a pile outside and, before I go home, scoop them up and dispose of them somewhere.

Do the ashtrays in the photograph spoil things?
Have you noticed the problem of no or full ashtrays for smokers?
Do you have an ashtray in your home?

1. Since the smoking ban I've seen a few of the smoker's wall mounted ashtrays overflowing and even on fire. I haven't bothered stopping in any of those establishments.
2. Yes, it's kept in the garden, I don't smoke, it gets emptied and cleaned after any visit from someone who smokes.

I didn't see the ashtrays at first.
I have ashtrays, but they are outside as we quit smoking "in" the house over 15 years ago.

I barely notice the ashtray in the pic.

Nebraska has a smoking ban. So no overflowing ashtrays inside. Most establishments have at least a coffee can in their smoking area, while others have these large tube things with a collection base for the butts.

I have two ashtrays. One inside and one outside. I'm a fairly heavy smoker so I regularly empty the one inside. I roll my own and I find that pre-made cig butts smell much more. (And they're NOT biodegradable here.)

Yes the sure do spoil the picture. I don't smoke never have and never will and for the folks that do I always hate it when they don't keep them clean. hugs V

* Didn't even notice.
Have you noticed the problem of no or full ashtrays for smokers?
* Yes, I did when I was smoking ... but now that I am a non-smoker, I tend to not hang around where people are smoking so I don't notice anymore.
Do you have an ashtray in your home?
* No ... if guests need to smoke, I hand them a saucer.

We are non smokers but have a few smoking friends. I mean they are hot! LOL (bad pun) We do keep an ashtray handy and have a screened in pool area so they can smoke and we can keep the area clean. Nothing is more disgusting than stinky butts!

There is a difference between a good BJ and a bad BJ.

You are a great non-smoking host providing an ashtray. When can I visit!
I suspect some of the ashtray fires may be caused by non-smokers putting paper litter in them. At work, I often attend to these fires.

    Now there are commercials complaining about the butts left on the ground. It poisons the ground and kills plants, bugs, birds, animals and eventually poeple when the poison hits the water table.
It seems I was told wrong. Now, I'll be more guilty dropping cigarette butts on the street.

The ashtrays were, of course, the first thing I saw in the photo!

I've not noticed the black-haired woman's cleavage; my eyes were solely on the ashtrays!

There's a ban in the UK too (and many other European countries), but the smoking facilities outside are poor in many bars and pubs. The smoking ban has probably contributed to many pubs closing.

    Are there ash trays in that photo?

    I smoked for twenty years, then quit. It wasn't easy but I am SO glad I did! I quit not for me, but because I found out that the tobacco companies genetically modified the tobacco to be more addicting. That pissed me off and I wanted to stop giving them my cash.
One of the reasons I don't give up smoking is that I have no children and don't want to live in a care home with no visitors when I'm old!

We should start a 'keep ashtrays clean' campaign!

A saucer's cool. It's only the ashtrays in the photo I can see!

    Quoting AmeliaCox:
    The ashtrays in the pic are virtually unnoticeable as the lady's breast draws the eye... Even for those not attracted by breasts and hers is not much to write home about anyway.
    Full ashtrays always look and smell disgusting but in public, I rarely notice their presence or absence, *i wish you would give up that unhealthy habit*
    Although I have not smoked for nearly 18years, I still own all my ashtrays and I provide one for guests to use indoors or outside if they prefer... I will even disable my smoke-detector for them.
    It's not my place to tell anyone to quit but I wish those who I care about would overcome their addiction.
You sound the perfect non-smoking host.
I still cannot see past the ashtrays in the photo!

Smoking is banned in bars in the UK as well, but smoking is allowed outside (yet!).

Smokers are always hot!
Smoking by a pool sounds great. When can I come over?! I'm house-trained!

In the UK, we can smoke in a doorway but there are plans to change this to well away from a doorway. I don't smoke in doorways but shelter if it's raining is always welcome!
