Paul-

This shouldn't be a "handicap" issue....poor smoker has nothing better to 
do than throw his cig butt out in the spring...alas he cannot help himself 
as he is the victim here.....BS!  So do you care that those heroin addicts 
chuck their needles in your yard? Or what about all the hospital waste 
floating up on the shore in NJ?  Yeah, as I get a some used hypodermic 
puncturing my exposure suit....all I'm thinking is that "gee they just 
couldn't help themselves, I can relate".  Congrats on quitting, but one 
man's vice is no excuse for trashing the cave/spring.  I'll go back to my 
regularly scheduled tree hugging now......

I find that a lot of people who work dive boats smoke...the ones with
a bit of sense do it while the divers are under water.  The fact is
that quitting cigarettes is harder than quitting almost any other
drug, including heroin.  I certainly don't condone it, but being an
ex-smoker myself, I can understand it.

Cheers.
