Oh puhleez! We have ALL seen smokers flick their cigarette butts out of moving cars, dump the contents of their car ashtrays in the middle of parking lots, and just throw their cigarettes down wherever they happen to be when they're finished with them. There could be an ashtray on every streetcorner in America and this would still be a problem! Smokers are the *worst* litterbugs on the planet.

Oh, you mean like the beer cans, paper cups and bags of fast food that people fling out of their car windows? Some people are neat and some are slobs. They are not divided by their smoking or non-smoking preferences.

There would be a lot less cigarette butts on the ground if receptacles were provided. What is everyone else's excuse for other kinds of garbage?

If you are an anti, be sure you don't litter before you point your finger at someone else.

Actually, newspapers and beer bottles are far more prolific, especially in terms of volume. Ban those too, you think?

[NautiNurse]

You feel very strongly about this?

Smokers are the *worst* litterbugs on the planet.

Your proof, please.

BTW, this smoker spent two hours sorting out recyclables today to bring to various centres around my town.

Smokers are the *worst* litterbugs on the planet.

Then what the hell are those beer cans I see from field party litterers that drive down my dad's street? Or the fast food litter I see on the expressway?

Smokers do their part in litter, but I see as much from the others as well.

Those are the ones you see.
The ones you don't see are the ones that discard the cigarette butts in ashtrays in their cars, which by BTW you have to special order now, the ones that empty their ashtrays in a litter receptacle, either at home or a public trash can, and the ones that field strip their butts when nothing is available.

Trash is trash, no matter the source.

Oh puhleez! Smokers pay more "sin" tax than anyone, use some of those ill-gotten gains to hire a few "guest workers" to clean them up.

BTW: I smoke plain ends and field strip them so it's all leaves and paper if you can find anything.

Oh puhleez! We have ALL seen eaters throw their hamburger wrappers out of moving cars, dump their take out bags in the middle of parking lots, and just throw their paper cups down wherever they happen to be when they're finished with them. There could be a garbage can on every streetcorner in America and this would still be a problem!
Smokers aren't the *only* litterbugs on the planet, but you don't seem to get it.

I just rented a car. To drive to my father's funeral out of state. It had the anti-smoker symbol in it. The ashtray war ripped out of it. So as it could never be replaced. I layed a portable ashtray on the passenger seat. And contemplated what was occurring.
