What about MY property rights??? I’m sick and tired of cleaning up cigarette butts in front of my house
*****************
I pick up more than cigarette butts in front of my house, fast food wrappers, bottles and cans, lottery tickets, etc.
About once a month I walk my property line and on the other side of the street, 1200 feet, I usually garner a full leaf trash bag of trash, some of which are cig butts.
Throwing cigarette butts on the ground IS littering and should be treated as such, along with people who throw out their car trash so their vehicles are clean.
I for one always use an ash tray I’ve put in my car and always field strip my cigarette to find a trash can later.
Not all litterbugs are smokers and not every smoker is a litterbug.
I agree. That’s why I said “many” not “all” smokers. I say let the marketplace speak but please smokers - pick up your butts and be considerate when lighting up in front of others!

Just as an FYI, I find that an empty Altoids container works great when trash cans or ash trays are hard to find.
