I have seen all to many smokers toss their butts on the tracks or just put them out on the platform. The ones on the track can cause fires if there is any other debris around, not to mention general unsightliness of butts strewn around on the tracks and platforms.
That is on top of the possible health issues.
Are you also concerned about the danger of commuters slipping on spilled beverages in the cars or are you just using the tossed butt excuse to validate your anti-smoking agenda.
Well,maybe next we can get a ban on Fridays Hamptons travellers packing commuter trains with their handtrucks full of wine (because there's no booze east of Queens) and the same people sprawled across several seats on their return trips on Mondays....and maybe a ban on the babbling yentas that go into Manhattan on Wednesdays to see a matinee and feel the need to prattle on incessantly in their self-important ignorance that not everyone cares about their day.
I mean, if the governor cares so much about everyones' tender sensibilities, what about MINE?
Oh, that's right...the universe DOESN'T revolve around me and everyone else DOES have rights as long as they do not maliciously cause me harm. Huh....who'd have thunk it?
