Isn't it amazing how much thought it takes to pitch your nasty cigarette butt out your window instead of putting it out in the ashtray your car came with?
Look at that! Another fool has finished sucking the cancer stick and tossed it nonchalantly into the gutter, where it now sits among it's people.
Look at the buttload of butts that line our streets. Maybe if everyone switched to unfiltered, there would be less waste. I know it seems like a minescule problem, but every big problem starts small, doesn't it? Think of how many things could be corrected with one simple action if we just went with our instincts.
I'm going that extra mile today.

"Here. You dropped this."

I've seen signs around various tea and coffee shops that say things along the lines of "Please don't drop your butts on the ground, the rats are getting cancer" or "We're trying to get the roaches to quit, please use the ashtray."
I hate it when people just throw their cigarettes out the window though.
OMG I know how you feel, except my biggest problem with this is in our own home. hubby uses the excuse that he doesnt like throwing butts on the ground because its littering BUT he puts them in his pocket, brings them home and they end up in the wash and all over the house! Our yard is also covered with butts and it makes me SOOOO mad! Hes away working right now but he IS going to pick up every single one and if he cant hndle disposing of them properly I will forbid him from smoking on our property...period...I dont care anymore about the fight it will cause I AM SICK OF IT! It is a big problem and DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great post! Love it!
Ugh, something I actually "hate".... Glad I don't know anyone close to me that smokes but if I did I would hope they had the sense to use an ashtray.
I have a pocket in my coat that butts get stuffed in when there's not an ashtray nearby. I'll pick up other butts and stuff em in my coat pocket too.
I remember going to the Grand Canyon for my daughter's birthday. One of the lookout points we stopped at was just covered with butts, when there was a trashcan not five feet away. So we did a little clean up, and had a long conversation about littering.
Great post, Riki!
As much as I despise the fact that my husband smokes, at least he picks them up and pockets them.
I applaud you now, Briar!
Litterbugs suck.
Ughhhh. Back when I smoked, I always used the ashtray or trashcan. It's so gross.
People who leave their butts lying around need their butts kicked.
Seriously.
It makes me So.Mad.

Some people are nasty with their butts. They are litter. Butts are not biodegradable.
