That's a great sign.

There's a big hullabaloo in Denver (again) about second hand smoke, as yet another smoking ban has come up for restaurants and bars. This one might pass, though, as it's state-wide, which was really the only logical gripe against the last attempt (which was only in the city of Denver).

Oh my, the full set is amazing! (Thanks, me3dia).

A person was waving at me. He was waving away my smoke.

A few of those signs mention portable ashtrays. I didn't even know those existed. How can I get one?

Altoids tins work pretty well. I'm not sure about smell containment, though.

Here you go, cmonkey. Or would you prefer to pay slightly more to Archie McPhee?

Oh, perfect. I usually end up putting the dead butts in my pocket if I feel weird about tossing them on the street, but that'll be much better.

It sounds kind of like a haiku:

A cigarette butt
tossed in a puddle
becomes hundreds of pieces of trash.

I now have a handy pictorial explanation for a certain bad relationship I was once in!
