Back to fag ends...

Ok then, is it polite to throw fag ends in the sink?

no, actually, THAT'S gross...peeing in them's a whole 'nother matter.

fag ends anywhere that is wet is very bad: they stink.

And urging back to the topic is acceptable too

I think someone eventually found out that it was more poisonous than many of the commercially available chemicals

I guess because there are some much chemicals that they put in the cigarettes other than the tobacco.

...No, it is the nicotine. Very poisonous stuff: kills people slowly, apparently makes faster work of insects

I once heard it said that eating a pack of 20 cigarettes could be fatal.

Yes they do add something in Cigarettes to enhance the nictone effect..

I recently saw a movie starring Al Pacino and George Clooney..it was 1999 flick...based on the real story of a whistle blower from Tobacco industry...I am not getting its name..

I think it was Al Pacino and Russel Crowe... The Insider.

yes you got it right...I always get confused in names...

Excellent movie nevertheless...

They add all sorts of stuff to cigarettes for all sorts of reasons.

But none of it is necessary to enhance their pesticide effect!

We used to have a big glass jar full of saved fag ends. Kept it on the shelf with the big glass jars of beans, pulses, rices etc etc. Looked wonderfully strange!

Never got around to using it on the garden....
