one lonely success

While waiting at a stop light today, I watched this guy at the cross walk pull out a cigarette. While trying to light it, he drops it to the ground. He does one of those “did anyone see that” double-takes and puts it back in mouth!

Now, on one hand it was disgusting. On the other hand, the guy was clearly in accordance with the three second rule. So, the question of the day is does the 3 second rule apply to smokes or is it strictly food?
