	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Five second rule Thursday, November 01, 2007 Five second rule I had a very rare encounter with a smoker this morning. Mercifully, hardly anyone still seems to smoke, in Northern California at least, and it's banned in virtually all businesses and public buildings, so aside from occasionally having to hold your breath as you walk past some idiots puffing away outside a building, one can live here in a blissful state of ignorance. I did see a smoker this morning though, a guy I slightly know from a class we share, and while talking to him for a moment before class, being sure to stand upwind, he dropped his cigarette, but immediately picked it up and continued smoking it. For an instant I was kind of grossed out, though it was just a concrete sidewalk below him; not a manure pit or something. Then I thought about the five second rule, but soon realized how silly that was. He's sucking on a cancer delivery system; what on earth could he drop the cig into that would be worse for him to ingest than what the cigarette provides as its basic, essential function? Logically, isn't worrying about a smoker's cigarette being dirty like feeding your kids shit cookies and telling them to wash their hands before they eat them? Labels: smoking Posted by: Flux # 12:40 PM Comments: What ruffles my cuffs is when a smoker just stomps their cig out on the ground and leaves it there in plain sight of two trash cans and a designated cigarette disposal bin. I guess the same can be said for anybody who litters like that -- and cigarettes are probably more biodegradable than most other trash, but still...it irks me somethin' fierce. Oh, and I honestly don't think dropping stuff on the ground and eating it is that big a deal unless it is either sticky or otherwise sopping wet. We have immune systems for a reason, don't we? ;) #: 2:52 PM posted by Ryan I've done enough beach clean-ups to know that cigarettes don't really biodegrade as quickly as anyone would like due to the filter which is some kind of foam thingy. I had heard that in Europe people keep a tin to place their used cig butts but my last trip I witnessed quite a few people tossing their cig butts into the street. And frankly, most folks who are still smoking on a regular basis in California are some serious addicts, plus the fact that cigarettes cost a whole helluv alot. #: 11:03 PM posted by Gura Most places have taken out cigarette disposal bins, presumably in an effort to discourage smoking altogether. The unforunate side effect of this is more people throw their cigarettes on the ground. I hate it when I'm on the freeway and someone throws their cigarette out the window and it flies into your windshield. And people wonder how all the fires started in Southern California... #: 12:20 AM posted by Anonymous Post a Comment << Home Archives May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2012
