This AM i parked right next to a 2012 Toyota Yaris L 5 door, also white like my 3 door L(except that the other one was washed!!).

on each side front window was a cute little sticker that said "cleaning fee for smoking is $250"; in other words, no smoking



does anyone know of these and where they can be gotten?

so cool!!

i notice that the car does not have an ashtray. i this a trend in other cars as well to discourage bad habits and to use the cigarette lighter instead for electronic needs like vacs, cell phones, etc?

Rental Car places have them(?)
They post them as reminders for renters(?)

Or maybe it's a Spencer's Gift novelty item?

If I'm not being too pedantic, why do you need a sticker to ask people not to smoke in your car ?

Can't you just tell them ?

Many cars now offer a "smokers package" option which includes a lighter and an ashtray for $30 - $40.

Most vehicles made today and sold in the USA do NOT have an ashtray. They also do not have cigarrette lighters. They do have "power outlets" though, often more than one.

I was going to say with that sticker in the window, your car might get mistaken for a rental car. You could always get no smoking stickers for the windows that don't mention a fee, so as not to make your car like a rental. Here are some from Amazon: Amazon.com: No Smoking - Sheet of 4 - Business Sign - Car, Truck, Notebook, Vinyl Decal Sticker #S349: Everything Else

That sounds like it was a rental or carshare vehicle, hence the sticker. If you want one that bad, you would probably need to have them made up, but it would be cheap. Any sticker/vinyl should be able to do it.

As for the ashtrays in cars, pretty much none of them have them anymore. Where the ashtray would be is now a cubby and while the outlet is still there, there is no lighter. If you buy the "smokers package" you get an ash cup to put in one of the cup holders and get a lighter to plug into the outlet.

Why spend money to risk offending your passengers with in your face manure like this sign?

You gotta mouth don't'cha?? Then inform your passengers you don't allow smoking in your vehicle. No guts, no glory....

1. How many people today would just start smoking without asking the owner if it was OK?
2. You can just tell people not to smoke.

Might as well get a don't snort coke sticker while you are at it.
