    A few weeks ago I went to pick up my 2008 Prius. The salesman showed me around the car and said: "People who drive Priuses do not smoke". I thought that was an interesting observation. So, are you a smoker?

    Perhaps he said this because the Prius does not have a dedicated/acknowledged cigarette lighter like other cars. Sure they have a power outlet that can be used for the function but it is not advertised as a cigarette lighter like on other cars.

    Isn't this normal for most new cars?

    Or is my 1997 Subaru way way ahead of Prius and the rest of the crowd?

    It would have been interesting to set this up as a poll.

    Non-smoker myself, never started.

    It is rare to find a Prius owner who is an idiot.

    Smoked when I was a teenager, got pregnant and my daughter (in development!) did not like that or seafood. I resumed eating seafood after the pregnancy but not the smoking. It's been 32 years and no plans to resume.

    The point of owning a Prius is to help the enviroment...smoking and prius dont really go hand in hand.

    I've never smoked and can't see the logic in spending so much money on something that kills you, but oddly all of the guys I've dated smoke. Actually, my boyfriend finally quit smoking a couple years ago but still can't resist cigarettes after a couple beers. :rolleyes: As long he keeps that stink away from the Prius!
    You should definitely add a poll to your post. :)
