Your Boyfriend Does Mind If You Smoke

A German man was so sick of his girlfriend's smoking that he turned a fire extinguisher on her, Der Spiegel reports. The 42-year-old gave a few warning shouts before spraying the apartment the two share, and he hadn't stopped yelling by the time police arrived to escort him to the station.

The girlfriend was not harmed, and the man will probably not be charged with any crime because it's "his apartment and his fire extinguisher," a police spokesman said. And now he has to deal with something much bigger than an overflowing ashtray. "With that kind of a fire extinguisher, it looks like it just snowed in the apartment," said a police spokesman. "It's hellish to clean up." (More cigarette stories.)
