Am wondering if Bab's constant lighting of a smoke, taking a few drags then throwing it away is supposed to give insight into her character in some way..? that she is frivolous? hot & cold? indecisive? easy to rid herself of something she no longer wants?
shareIf it is symbolic, I think it's a cue to her restlessness and impatience with her life and the way she sees it going.
Sweet merciful crap!
It's just tea! *sips* Needs more gin.
I think Ryan also threw out a few cigarettes after one or two puffs. With prices for cigarettes like they are today, I doubt they'd be chucking them on the ground so quickly. Yeah, like your title, there was a helluva lot of wasting of cigarettes.
shareIt's symbolic. If you notice, the character is usually doing it when she's disgusted or annoyed about something. She's so unhappy that she can't even enjoy a cigaret in peace. But hey, waste a cigaret, save a lung.
