  1. Tom Lester Says:

    And what about the thousands of cigarette butts thrown everywhere from people who use either disposables OR zippos?

  2. Hoachland Says:

    Damn right! Zippos, ftw. <3

  3. Anonymous Says:

    to tom: it occurs to me that you have never thought about the idea of smoking anything other than a cigarette. to that effect, many people smoke filterless cigarettes. even beyond that are people like myself who make a concerted effort not to leave cigarettes about. sure, its a small percentage, but its growing.

  4. John Q. Everyman Says:

    you cant smoke pot wtih a zippo…thats the end of it

  5. Sandy Says:

    I’ll buy a Zippo when people stop stealing my lighters.

  6. swedishdwarf Says:

    Cigarette butts are made of cotton and biodegrade completely in an average of 18 months. Think about it, when’s the last time you saw a really old cigarette butt lying around? Also, one can smoke pot with a Zippo. They have a special model with a hole in the wind guard so you can suck the flame down into the bowl of a pipe. It has a silhouette of a pipe on it.

  7. bicsareforkids Says:

    cigarette buts are NOT made from cotton- many are made of fiberglass, which will decompose after a long long time. anyway, John Q said it all

  8. Anaphylaxis Says:

    You’re both wrong. They’re not made from fiberglass (honestly, how does that myth survive? Everyone knows cigarettes are deadly, but honestly, fiberglass?) or cotton. They’re made from cellulose acetate (yes, that’s cellulose as in what trees are made of), and have been made of this for quite some time.

  9. Ivan Says:

    Blogging and smoking are simmiler. arguably pointless,
    but it feels so fucking good that you know its right every time

  10. JohnS Says:

    Swedishdwarf, ever take a look around at a stoplight and see the thousands of cigarette butts that have piled up next to the curb?
