This seems like a technical gotcha that has little to do with his overall point. Not all low-hanging fruit is worth picking.

But as a smoker, I took offense to their characterization of me. Call it whatever you like, but I don't appreciate being berated -- especially when such insults aren't valid. As I said, take from that what you will.
- surge 5y agoGreat, you're in the 10%, but if you know other smokers, you know they throw their butts on the ground at least some of the time, I've seen smokers do it when a receptacle was 5 feet away. I was being hyperbolic, but having witnessed thousands of smokers in my lifetime, especially from when I was young, I'm pretty sure I have a decent sample size. All of them threw their butts on the ground, giving them 10% that didn't was being generous to people like you, which are basically unicorns as far as I'm concerned.
- nobody9999 5y agoYou're painting a whole bunch of people you don't know with a broad brush. I hate people who do that.
