Answer 1

Not only was that rude you should think yourself lucky you didn't get it thrown back in your face

Answer 2

Where were you? If you were at your house - Yes, I would have gotten mad too. But if you were in public, then you shouldn't smoke around other people. Look, if you want to pollute your body with smoking, go for it. I do not have an opinion or a right to say if that is right or wrong. But what I do have is a right to not be subjected to it when I am out in public. Smoking makes me sick - literally. Second hand smoke makes me nasueasous, I get a migrane, and my clothes and hair smell horrible. I shouldn't have to deal with that every time I go out. I don't want to have to worry about where I can and can't go b/c of smokers. I grew up with smokers, my father is still a smoker, my brother, all of my inlaws, - I have been there and done all of that. Please, be considerate of others and limit your smoking to your domain - your house, car etc... and if someone has built up enough nerve to ask you to put out your cancer stick, don't be an *** and throw it at them - just walk away.

Answer 3

Cigarette etiquette is ancient stuff, stowed in the cultural marrow back when men wore real hats and glam movie stars with impossible cheekbones gave come-hither looks through unfiltered haze. What relics of chivalry still surround this tiny lethal object, the cigarette!
They smoke when they're nervous or bored -- something to do with my hands -- and because it's more graceful than shredding a napkin. They smoke because beer and cigarettes are as perfect as coffee and doughnuts, or, for that matter, coffee and cigarettes. They smoke because it's powerful, like wearing sunglasses, because it's tough, like showing off bruises. They smoke because each new cigarette is a reinvention.
Not sexy: those people outside office buildings. One hand clutches an unbuttoned coat collar. The other holds a cigarette. There's no draped wrist on a bar, no whiskey and low lighting. Delivery trucks rumble past and there's gray gum by the ash-and-trash and it's cooold , and you wonder what kind of demon could drag them out here. When they return to their cubicles, they drag a stale, grubby smell behind them.
"That's how I met my boyfriend," one of the blondes says. "He bummed a cigarette from me."

Answer 4

i do no longer think of this female deserved to be thrown onto a railway line however the no- smoking BYLAWS on prepare systems is ridiculous. My community station is non smoking yet human beings on the pavement parallel to the platform (approximately 6 inches away) can smoke. i will work out the factor if it grow to be crowded and specially undercover yet this station is contained in the path of nation-state! What injury is everyone doing in the event that they have a rapid cigarette? If the anti-smoker's lungs are that gentle, how do they handle respiration in all those automobile fumes whilst strolling around all day. i desire they are no longer hypocritical adequate to run a automobile themselves - polluting our ecosystem each and every time they turn on the ignition way extra desirable than a smoker can in a life-time!

Answer 5

Of course it was rude, I think you know very well that it was. However if you were in a designated smoking area it's at least understandable you got mad. I am all for smoking bans but in the few places smokers have left they should be allowed to smoke without being bothered.

Answer 6

Yes, what you did was rude, but if you were in an area where smoking was allowed then who ever asked you to put it out was rude to. They could have just left the area.

Answer 7

you have to ask?.... you are so lucky it wasn't me you threw it at.....extremely rude!! well how did they tell you to extinguish it? and where were you? out in the wide open or somewhere where this person was not able to step away from your smoke.?? either way, i highly suggest you never eever do that again, it might be the wrong person having a bad day o0r just crazy or me,...haha....BIG DRAMA-

Answer 8

Yes, I'm sorry to say, it was very rude. Do you know the person? I would recommend you go to them and apologize. Cigarettes can hurt, burn, and scorch. But worse than that is the pain you may have caused the person. Asking for forgiveness would be the best thing to do...

Answer 9

I would've 'Rudolphed' them. It's when you stub your cigarette out on the tip of someone's nose. Leaves a nasty burn (that scabs) for a good month and their nose is bright red (hence the name). I've only done it twice. Once was after a fight when I knocked a guy out who started the fight outside a bar. I held his head up, blew smoke in his face and put my cig out on his nose and stuck the extinguished butt in his mouth and walked off. The other time was when someone tried to hit on my girlfriend with me standing right there. He was smoking, himself, and I grabbed him by the neck and slammed him into the wall, pulled the lit cig out his mouth and put it out on his nose...and then threw him to the ground. He slinked off like a baby-backed woman.

Answer 10

Not only was it rude, it was childish, and dangerous. You could have accidentally hit them in the eye with it or burned their lips.

It doesn't matter in what manner they told you to extinguish it, your response was overboard. Even if you were in a designated smoking area, the smoke carries and can affect people at a distance.

The person may have been angry because not all smokers put their butts out in the proper receptacles. S/he may just have had enough and you were the unfortunate recipient. My original statements still stand.

Answer 11

The person was probably just looking out for you! There was no need to throw the cigarette back at them. So in answer to your question, yes it was rude.
