I disagree. Whenever there are smokers in my home, I seem to find butts in the wierdest of places. In the fish tanks, on the floor, etc.
Go out and find a public fountain, I bet theres lots of butts in it.
Go to the local zoo, I bet theres butts in a bunch of the exhibits.
They just seem to fling them without thinking.
The last time my bro got a butt in his SPS tank, he lost almost all his acros.

you are a nicer guy then me! I would have punched him in the face just for entertainment!
Absolutely crazy. Freak'n smokers think they can put their trash just about anywhere...
Anyway, a couple years ago my roommates and I had a bash and some numb nut decided to pour some beer into my freshwater 135. Well, while I didn't lose any fish, the tank water turned a very strange green and I had to move the fish to another tank while emptying the 135.
In any case, some people just really shouldn't be allowed to have kids given the lack of respect they have for other living things.

Maybe you should be more careful about who you invite into your home. Your friends that don't smoke could easily behave the same way if they smoked. Let's not bash smokers for this. It was the idiot's fault. Maybe idiot's are more prone to smoke, but this doesn't make all smokers idiots. There are many other stupid ways to kill yourself including ingesting mass quantities of cholesterol, sun burns, alcohol, lack of exercise, unprotected sex, etc. to name a few. I have no aspirations to rob people of those rights, as long as they don't hurt me, my family, or my belongings.

This statement seems like a bit of a contradiction for a smoker doesn't it?
I can't imagine how...I'm not suggesting nonsmokers should be forced to inhale second hand smoke. The contradiction is that many people only seem to care about their health when it comes to smoking.

Because your smoking hurts everyone around you. Thats how its a contradiction. THe basic premise that one accepts when one lights up is "this small pleasure for me is more important than my health, and everyone within 30 feet of me, or who will come within 30 feet of me, or the area I smoked in"
I dont let smoking go on in my house either.
You may not throw your butts everywhere, without regard to where they go, but that doesnt make you the average smoker by any stretch.
As to people only caring about smoking when it comes to their health? Yeah, true, but part of that is because smoking is SO MUCH worse for you than any of these other things.

If you think coming within 30 feet of me AFTER having a cigarette is bad for your health then don't come within 30 feet of me. We'll both be happier and healthier for it.

That is totally uncalled for!:mad2: Talk about stereotyping!
I would like to say to you "You sound like the average non-smoker" but I'm not going to
I'm a smoker:smokin: and know a lot of smokers that would not even think about doing something like that!
I, for one, would like an apology!

Sorry Ron, its nice htat you wouldnt do it, but the two times I have found people smoking in my house, I have found butts somewhere they shouldnt be.
I didnt say every smoker is like that, I said the average one is.

Can you explain to me what an "average smoker" is?
BTW They don't fight for the right to give other people cancer, they fight for the freedom of choice the non-smokers are trying to take from them. To smoke or not to smoke.
I don't think the government should ban smoking in every establishment. I think that it should be up to the owner. Or at the very most, make the owner post that "This is a smoking establishment". Remember, non-smokers make the decision to go into the smoke, we do not force them to go. Why can't we have bars that are non-smoking bars? Because a lot of the people that go to bars are smokers. So how's baning smoking going to affect bars?
It's like being arrested for drinking in a bar.

i see this going off topic fast....
AS for things near the tank, my friends know better. I have never had anything appear in any of my tanks. I used to allow smoking in my apartment when I smoked back in college. We had some crazy parties but everyone knows not to mess with the tank.
Now, the tank sits in my living room and I keep an eye on it all the time during my parties now. Everyone still knows not to mess with it.
Smoking outdoors only - drinking allowed everywhere
