By that logic, let's ban V-8 engines, since all they do is waste gas, encourage speeding, yadda, yadda, yadda....

Agreed. There are already laws for all the issues of smoking while driving. Too many liberals out there trying to over-regulate everything and make laws to micro-manage our lives. It's sick and disgusting, not to mention un-American. That's never stopped the liberals from doing anything though...
Personally I'll have a cigarette every now and again when I go out with my buddies. I smoke a handful of cigarettes a month at most. A pack can last me for months. In any case, I don't smoke in my own car as I don't want to ruin the headliner and get the thing smelling all nasty. When I smoke in a friend's car who smokes in the car I will always put the butt in the ash tray. I don't litter and I hate those who do. Just put the waste in a container in your car and throw it out wehn convenient. That's what I do in my car. I always have a plastic bag or two from Wawa on the back seat floor which I throw trash in. When a bag fills up I tie it off and throw it in the garbage can when I get home. Smoking is no different, except most cars come equipped with a place to store cigarette butts for later disposal.
