To me, it's a litter problem. A lot (alot) of smokers don't have the decency to put the butts out and put them in a proper receptacle. It's also a disgusting habit I finally gave up--well, two habits. I usually tried to dispose of the butts. As in, not add to the filth already on the ground.
I do pity smokers as they are addicted to a bad habit, but I have my own habits I need to concentrate on, so I don't bother smokers and they don't bother me, except for the litter.

Have you ever been in the military and learned how to "field strip" a cigarette? If your outside and there are no receptacles, then field strip the cigarette. No one will be the wiser.
